Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1143-1145 Rhode Island Street in Potrero Hill, owned by Dana T Byrd, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1904. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past decades, with the most recent work occurring in 2020, including a staircase repair involving dry rot remediation and railing replacement, as well as a complete sewer lateral replacement. The building has maintained its roofing systems, with documented reroofing projects completed in 1991 and 2015, indicating regular maintenance of this critical building component.

The property has experienced some recent tenant-related issues, notably a noise complaint in June 2024 that was resolved through communication with the event producer, and an incident involving smoke or odor removal. There have been multiple parking-related complaints in 2024, primarily concerning vehicles blocking driveways, though these are not directly related to the building's condition or management. A potentially concerning issue has been reported regarding tree roots lifting the sidewalk, with ongoing complaints as recent as January 2025, which could impact resident access to the property. A building complaint was filed and quickly addressed in July 2022, though the specific nature of this complaint is not detailed in the records. The property has a documented history of regular maintenance and repairs, with no recorded fire incidents resulting in civilian injuries or other major safety concerns on file.

Risk rating

How 1143-1145 Rhode Island 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
19th percentile

Out of 726 buildings in this neighborhood, 588 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 76.9%
Moderate concern 16.7%
Severe concern 6.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
