Initial analysis

The multi-family residential building at 1081 Kansas Street in Potrero Hill is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1910, containing three units and currently owned by Jerry Neil & Remy L Curtis. The property has undergone several significant renovations over the past few decades, with the most recent major work occurring in 2017 when the building received a facelift with the replacement of shingles on the front facade with Hardie shingles and repainting of trim, a project costing $23,000. In 2008, substantial improvements were made to apartment #3, including the removal of plaster walls and ceilings in multiple rooms, replacement with drywall, trim work updates, electrical rewiring, and window replacement. That same year, the building received comprehensive electrical upgrades including rewiring of all circuits and installation of a new subpanel, along with plumbing work for a new bathroom, kitchen sink installation, and new gas line for the furnace.

The property has a notable historical incident from 1995 when a complaint was filed regarding improper electrical connections between units and concerns about dangerous backstairs and chipping paint on ceilings, though this issue was marked as abated in 1996. More recently, various municipal service requests have been logged in the vicinity, including multiple tree-related issues in 2021-2022 (damaged trees and fallen trees), graffiti incidents, and sidewalk maintenance concerns between 2021 and 2024. While these exterior maintenance issues have been addressed, there was also a documented incident with medical waste (needles) in the area in April 2023 and some infrastructure concerns including a missing side sewer vent cover in February 2024. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep and modernization efforts, particularly focusing on electrical, plumbing, and structural improvements to maintain safety and compliance with current standards.

Risk rating

How 1081 Kansas St'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

Out of 726 buildings in this neighborhood, 632 are predicted to be safer.
