Initial analysis

184 Precita Avenue is a two-story, multi-family residential building located in Bernal Heights, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Herman Frances & Delucia Au. The property consists of two units and has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past three decades. Most notably, in 2013, the building experienced water damage that required substantial repairs, including work on drywall, insulation, plaster, flooring, and exterior siding, with associated electrical upgrades including replacement of wet Romex wire, installation of new smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and various electrical fittings. Earlier structural work included seismic upgrades in 1992 (including replacement of a steel beam and shearwall), reroofing projects in 1993 and 2001, and stairway improvements in 1995.

The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep of critical systems, particularly following significant events like water damage. The property has experienced various neighborhood-related incidents as recorded in 311 calls, though these are primarily external to the building itself. Recent calls have mainly concerned parking issues (2023 and 2021), with other reports relating to street cleaning, graffiti removal, and an animal control request in 2021. Two noise complaints were recorded in 2016 and 2017, one related to home improvement maintenance and another concerning private property construction, though neither resulted in any ongoing enforcement action. While the building requires regular maintenance as evidenced by the permit history, there are currently no active complaints or unresolved issues on record.

Risk rating

How 184 Precita 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.
