Initial analysis

914 Wisconsin Street is a 5-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1925 in Potrero Hill, currently owned by Bingham Trust. The property has undergone significant renovations and improvements over the past decade, with the most recent work focusing on Unit 5's conversion from 2 bedrooms/1 bathroom to 3 bedrooms/2 bathrooms, including extensive structural work on the south, west, and north walls addressing framing, sheathing, and stucco issues, as well as interior floor and ceiling joist replacements in bedrooms. This recent work has generated an active building complaint regarding unauthorized wall modifications. The building has seen comprehensive updates to multiple units, including kitchen and bathroom remodels, electrical rewiring, and fire safety improvements such as a mandatory fire alarm upgrade in 2022 and new low-frequency horns. Major plumbing work has been performed, including the installation of heat pump systems and bathroom renovations.

The property has experienced several maintenance and safety-related issues over its history, including a notable roof leak complaint in 2009, multiple fire safety violations in 2002 that were abated in 2003, and various renovation-related concerns in 2014 regarding lead hazards and unpermitted work. The building's systems have been continuously updated, with recent improvements including a complete electrical rewire of Unit 5 and installation of ductless heating and cooling systems. There have been several 311 calls related to parking and tree maintenance in the vicinity, though these do not directly pertain to the building's condition. The property's historical records indicate regular maintenance and upgrading of systems, with particular attention to fire safety compliance and individual unit improvements, though the recent active building complaint regarding unauthorized modifications suggests some ongoing challenges with adherence to proper permitting procedures.

Risk rating

How 914 Wisconsin 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
40th percentile

Out of 726 buildings in this neighborhood, 436 are predicted to be safer.
