Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1072 Potrero Avenue, owned by the Valdivia Family Living Trust, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1900 in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood. The property's maintenance record shows one significant infrastructure improvement in 2013, when the main water line was replaced (completed) as part of work conducted for both 1072 and 1074 Potrero Avenue.

The recent history of the property primarily reflects ongoing challenges related to street and sidewalk maintenance, particularly in 2024. There have been multiple incidents of garbage and debris, including reports of mattresses, furniture, and general loose garbage that required intervention by Recology and the Department of Public Works (DPW). The most concerning of these incidents occurred in October 2023, when human or animal waste was reported near the property, though inspection determined no feces were present. The building's immediate vicinity has also experienced issues with illegal postings (November 2024) and public graffiti (October 2024) on adjacent infrastructure. Several service requests were logged in 2024, including an open request for paint shop services and a general public works request that was deemed invalid, though other recent street cleaning cases have been resolved. The cumulative pattern of sidewalk maintenance issues suggests ongoing challenges with waste management and public space upkeep in the immediate area.

Risk rating

How 1072 Potrero Ave's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of SF DBI inspection data — notice of violation filings, complaint history, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that DBI inspectors will issue a Notice of Violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
