Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1018 Ingerson Ave in Bayview Heights, owned by David Lu, is a two-story structure built in 1906. The property has undergone numerous modifications and faced several challenges over its history. Most recently, there is an active housing complaint from 1994 regarding roof leaks, cracks in walls, faulty wiring, missing smoke detectors, and inadequate plumbing, which remains unresolved as of October 2023. In 2012, there was a building complaint about unpermitted construction work involving excessive wood usage and noise, though this was subsequently addressed with a permit for interior work, including new flooring and changes to the trash area. Between 2003 and 2004, the ground floor underwent several revisions to reconfigure rooms, add laundry facilities, and improve electrical systems, despite complaints about work exceeding permitted scope and noise impacting tenants. The building has received attention for parking enforcement issues recently, with multiple citations for blocking driveways between December 2024 and January 2025, though these are not related to the building's condition. Historical records show earlier renovations including foundation work on the rear porch in 2004, reroofing in 1999, and various interior modifications in the late 1990s and early 2000s, including electrical system upgrades with the installation of new lights and receptacles. The property has experienced some maintenance challenges in recent months, with multiple reports of garbage and debris in the vicinity between December 2024 and January 2025, though these were typically resolved through city services.

Risk rating

How 1018 Ingerson 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.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 54 buildings in this neighborhood, 27 are predicted to be safer.
