Initial analysis

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 105 Manchester Street in Bernal Heights, owned by Michael R. Walsh, was constructed in 2012 and has undergone multiple significant renovations since then. Most notably, in 2013-2014, the property received substantial structural improvements including the addition of steel beams and footings, along with a solar PV installation completed in May 2014 consisting of 7 roof-mounted panels with a total rating of 1.75 kW. The building has seen consistent maintenance and upgrades, including multiple window replacements (from 2010 to 2014), kitchen and bathroom remodels (2012-2013), and mechanical system improvements such as furnace installation and plumbing updates.

The property has a concerning history of permit violations and complaints from 2001-2003, including issues related to drainage problems, a possibly sinking building, unauthorized construction work, and various maintenance violations, all of which were officially abated by September 2001. More recent history shows some permit compliance issues in 2013 with complaints about work exceeding permit scope and unpermitted paint scraping, all of which were subsequently addressed. The building has maintained a pattern of regular upgrades and maintenance, including roof work in 2005, various interior improvements, and infrastructure upgrades. Recent activity at the property includes multiple reports of abandoned vehicles in the vicinity between 2022 and 2024, though these are external to the building itself and do not reflect on the property's condition or management.

Risk rating

How 105 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.
