Initial analysis

The property at 186 Nevada Street in Bernal Heights is a mixed-use flat and store building with 4 or fewer units, currently registered under the ownership of Michael Hernandey and Emma Auscher. The building has undergone several significant renovations and repairs in recent years, particularly focused on Unit A, which experienced water damage requiring systematic repairs in 2020 and 2021, including wall finishes replacement and exploratory work covering approximately 200 square feet. Subsequent improvements in early 2022 involved comprehensive bathroom renovations with the replacement of the bathtub, vanity, and toilet, followed by electrical work to reconnect appliances, outlets, and switches. While the building itself appears to have been adequately maintained through these repairs, several concerning trends have emerged in the surrounding area, particularly in 2021-2024, including multiple reports of parking violations, abandoned vehicles, and two instances of human or animal waste on public property in mid-2021. A noise complaint was filed in July 2023, though it was not specified whether this originated from the building itself. Planning records indicate no violations or significant modifications to the building's unit configuration, with all recent work properly documented and completed in accordance with regulations. The property's permits and repairs suggest ongoing maintenance of basic facilities, though the presence of recurring external issues in the vicinity may be of note to prospective residents.

Risk rating

How 186 Nevada 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.
