Initial analysis

The 8-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 1358-1364 Potrero Avenue, owned by the Benjamin & Denise Gage Trust, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1927. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017-2018, which included revisions to moment frames and shear walls, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements. The building's maintenance history reveals attention to structural elements, particularly in the rear deck and stair areas, with repairs documented in 2004 and 2008, suggesting ongoing attention to safety infrastructure.

The property experienced a cluster of housing code violations in December 2003 related to stairs and central alarm systems, all of which were resolved by February 2004. While routine housing inspections were conducted in 2011, no active violations were found at that time. More recently, the building has faced multiple exterior maintenance challenges, with several graffiti-related service requests filed between late 2024 and early 2025, though these are not directly related to building safety or habitability. The most recent building inspection data available shows that both the soft-story retrofit program requirements have been completed and a Certificate of Final Completion (CFC) issued, indicating that the most recent mandatory seismic upgrades have been properly finalized.

Risk rating

How 1358-1364 Potrero Ave'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.
