Initial analysis

The 3-unit multi-family residential building at 1082 Potrero Ave in the Inner Mission was constructed in 1890 and is currently owned by the Olson Family Trust. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, most notably a complete re-roofing project in 2019 costing $16,500, and critical dryrot repairs in 2008 involving crawl space remediation. In 2001, substantial safety improvements were implemented, including the installation of a sprinkler system, roof access ladders, and the construction of fire-rated property line walls. The building experienced a cluster of violations in 2004 related to lead paint hazards, window repairs, and weatherproofing issues, all of which were resolved by January 2005. Earlier maintenance issues were documented in 1995, including concerns about floors, doors, and kitchen appliances.

More recent history of the property shows ongoing maintenance with multiple 311 calls between 2023-2024 primarily related to exterior issues such as graffiti and street cleaning needs. The most recent call for general cleaning was submitted in October 2023 and remains open. The building's documented history shows cumulative efforts to address both structural and safety requirements, with the most recent major work (the 2019 re-roofing project) completed under proper permits and following code requirements. The property has maintained compliance with building codes since the resolution of the 2004 violations, with no subsequent documented violations or complaints regarding hazardous materials or safety concerns.

Risk rating

How 1082 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.
