Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1267-1269 Rhode Island Street in Potrero Hill, constructed in 1900, has undergone significant modifications and faced numerous challenges over the past two decades. Most recently, in 2024, the property completed the installation of a new sprinkler monitoring system ($13,908) and associated electrical work, following earlier comprehensive safety upgrades including the installation of a fire sprinkler system throughout the building in 2020 ($25,662) and structural improvements in 2023. The building's renovation history includes an ambitious 2015 permit for major facade restoration, new stairs, and additional floors, though this permit eventually expired. Between 2021-2024, substantial plumbing work was completed, including the installation of new plumbing for multiple bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry facilities, as well as a new radiant heating system. The electrical system was upgraded with a new 200-amp service and wiring work in 2021.

The building has had a documented history of maintenance and compliance issues, particularly between 2002-2011, when it faced multiple violations regarding stair repairs, lead paint hazards, and vacant building status. Notably, there were concerns about blight, boarded-up windows, and overgrown vegetation between 2012-2019. More recent complaints between 2020-2022 have primarily related to construction activities, including noise and dust concerns, though these issues have been marked as "Not Active" in the records. The property has been proactive in addressing safety requirements, as evidenced by the recent completion of sprinkler system upgrades and other compliance work, though historical records show periods of significant maintenance challenges that required enforcement actions.

Risk rating

How 1267-1269 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
4th percentile

Out of 726 buildings in this neighborhood, 697 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.

DBI complaint rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building complaint rate across the owner's portfolio.

Neighborhood location

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

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 46.0%
Moderate concern 21.0%
Severe concern 32.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
