Initial analysis

The property at 846-848 Arkansas Street in Potrero Hill, owned by Uwe H Dobers and Anne M Crowl, is a multi-family residential building classified as Flats & Duplex, though it currently shows no recorded units or stories in the database. The most significant recent maintenance activity was a completed deck repair at the rear of the building in January 2021, costing $8,600, which involved less than 50% repair in kind.

The surrounding area has experienced various municipal issues over the years, with the most recent incidents occurring in 2023, including a park rules violation patrolled by RPD and an abandoned vehicle report handled by DPT. In April 2022, there were two consecutive reports of burnt-out streetlights on wooden poles that were resolved by PG&E within one to two days of each report. Other historical incidents include a parking enforcement request for sidewalk parking in March 2022 (resulting in an officer's inability to locate the vehicle), a March 2015 abandoned vehicle case that was addressed during a film shoot road closure, and a general street cleaning request from March 2011. Additionally, there is an unresolved planning complaint regarding unauthorized front yard parking from 2011, alleging the installation of multiple car parking spaces in the paved front yard, though no developer information is available.

Risk rating

How 846-848 Arkansas 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, 218 are predicted to be safer.
