Initial analysis

This two-unit residential building, located at 1157 Wisconsin Street in Potrero Hill and owned by Melody Fuller, has a significant history of fire code violations and various maintenance issues since its construction in 1900. Most recently, in October 2023, multiple fire code violations were documented, including issues with gas and electric meters, emergency lighting, doors, and alarm systems - all of which were subsequently abated. The building underwent some recent maintenance work, including reroofing in February 2024 at a cost of $15,000, while an electrical upgrade from Federal Pacific panels to breaker panels was cancelled in early 2024.

The property's maintenance record shows a mix of completed and expired permits, including an expired permit for furnace installation from 2012. A pattern of parking-related incidents is evident in recent years, with numerous complaints about blocked driveways and illegal parking between 2022 and 2025, though most cases were resolved either through citations or police response, with only a few instances of vehicles being unable to be located. The building's location has experienced some neighborhood cleanliness issues, with multiple reports of garbage, debris, and abandoned vehicles between 2022 and 2025, while the property has also addressed various fire safety concerns over the years, including multiple violations related to alarm systems, electrical hazards, and emergency lighting between 2019 and 2023, all of which have been corrected according to official records.

Risk rating

How 1157 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

Out of 726 buildings in this neighborhood, 566 are predicted to be safer.
