Initial analysis

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 63 Manchester Street in Bernal Heights, owned by Rigby Son Lvg Trust, was constructed in 1906 and has undergone several notable renovations and repairs over its lifetime. The most significant recent improvements occurred in 2012, when the property underwent substantialUpdates across multiple systems, including kitchen and bathroom renovations, electrical upgrades, and plumbing modifications, with a total investment of $30,000. This renovation included the installation of new appliances, lighting (25 lights and 20 receptacles), smoke detectors, and a gas wall heater, along with electrical system improvements including a new sub-panel. Prior to this, the building had several structural and maintenance issues addressed in 1997-1998, including repairs to a deck with dry rot problems, roofing work, and various structural improvements, though these permits have since expired.

Recent maintenance and safety records show generally normal building upkeep, with no significant safety violations or major maintenance issues reported in the last few years. The property has experienced some parking-related incidents in the surrounding area, with multiple reports of abandoned vehicles (most of which were resolved with vehicles leaving the area), and two documented cases of driveway blocking that resulted in citations in 2021. There were also two water-related incidents reported through the 311 system in 2020 and 2024, though both appear to have been routine matters, with one being a water quality inquiry and the other a resolved sewer issue. The building's permit history suggests that major systems were comprehensively upgraded in 2012, with no indication of any significant deficiencies or safety concerns in recent years.

Risk rating

How 63 Manchester 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
59th percentile

Out of 1276 buildings in this neighborhood, 523 are predicted to be safer.
