Initial analysis

This two-unit multi-family residential building, located at 16 Wheat Street in Bayview Heights, is a 1-story flats and duplex structure built in 1907 and currently owned by William A. Arietta. The building's most recent permit activity dates back to 2012, when a street space and sidewalk permit was issued for a nominal cost.

The property has experienced an unusually high volume of recent issues, particularly in the early months of 2025, with multiple reports of sidewalk parking violations resulting in several citations being issued. Other current concerns include an open pavement defect case (sidewalk and curb), an overgrown tree impeding signage, and instances of graffiti on the sidewalk structure. These environmental management issues have predominantly occurred between November 2024 and January 2025. Looking back to 2018, there was one documented fire safety concern regarding blocked exits, though this condition was corrected within approximately one month. While the building's age and recent maintenance issues warrant attention, it's important to note that many of the current concerns relate to external infrastructure rather than the building itself.

Risk rating

How 16 Wheat 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
46th percentile

Out of 54 buildings in this neighborhood, 29 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.

Neighborhood location

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

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

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 72.2%
Moderate concern 17.1%
Severe concern 10.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
