Initial analysis

The property at 60-62 Appleton Avenue in Bernal Heights is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1908 and currently owned by Maureen Schmidt. The building has undergone several significant improvements and faced various maintenance challenges over the years. Most notably, in late 2021, a comprehensive seismic retrofit of the foundation was completed at a cost of $80,000. In 2021, the building sustained minor damage to its front façade (brick) due to a car impact, which was promptly repaired. The property has experienced recurring issues with water damage and mold, particularly evident in 2006 when violations were issued for various interior surface problems including mold removal, water damage repairs, and heating system deficiencies that required attention in multiple units.

Regular inspections have revealed various maintenance needs over the years. A routine safety inspection in 2014 identified issues with the water heater, rear stairway, and fire extinguisher that were subsequently resolved. Building improvements have included electrical work in 2006 involving lighting and ceiling fan replacements. The building has experienced several minor fire-related incidents including false alarms and false calls, but no actual fires or civilian injuries have been recorded. Recent records from 2024 primarily show external enforcement issues related to parking violations, though these do not directly impact building residents.

Risk rating

How 60-62 Appleton 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.
