Initial analysis

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 1135-1145 Phelps Street in Bayview, constructed in 1946 and currently owned by Demetrius Williams, has undergone several significant renovations and faced various maintenance challenges over the years. In 2018, the property underwent substantial improvements including electrical rewiring, water heater installations, and window replacements, with particular attention to compliance following a complaint about vinyl windows. The building had a serious maintenance crisis in 2009 when multiple violations were recorded for interior surfaces including mold, lead hazards, and paint conditions, though these were all officially abated by November 2017. During the 2018 renovation period, there were multiple complaints about construction work being conducted beyond permit scope and without proper notifications, though these issues were resolved by May 2021.

More recent history shows the property has experienced regular exterior maintenance issues, particularly with garbage and debris management, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls for street cleaning between late 2024 and early 2025. There have been three minor fire incidents recorded, including water leaks, but none resulted in civilian injuries. The building's infrastructure has been significantly improved in recent years, with 2018 records showing comprehensive updating of electrical systems, window replacements, and plumbing improvements including new water heaters for both units. While there have been some recent complaints regarding exterior conditions, these appear to be primarily related to street-level maintenance rather than the building's structural or interior conditions.

Risk rating

How 1135-1145 Phelps 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 382 buildings in this neighborhood, 50 are predicted to be safer.
