Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 160-162 Richland Avenue in Bernal Heights, constructed in 1905, has undergone significant improvements over the past several years, with the most substantial recent work occurring in 2020 when a $208,000 project focused on the rear accessory garage structure included a voluntary seismic upgrade, interior conditioning to create habitable space, and various improvements including a half bath, wet bar, dry rot repair, re-roofing, and new windows and skylights. Between 2012 and 2020, the property underwent extensive renovations including complete bathroom and kitchen remodels, siding repairs, and substantial plumbing and electrical upgrades to both units, featuring the installation of new plumbing systems, radiant heating with radiators and towel warmers, and comprehensive electrical rewiring throughout.

The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, including a successful foundation repair and kitchen remodeling project completed in 1995, though a roofing permit from the same year expired without completion confirmation. Recent activity around the property has primarily involved parking-related issues, with multiple reports of vehicles blocking driveways or parking on sidewalks between 2021 and 2024, suggesting ongoing challenges with street parking in the vicinity. While these parking incidents represent the bulk of recent complaints associated with the address, they are primarily environmental rather than structural or safety concerns. The property's documented improvements, particularly the seismic upgrade and comprehensive systems modernization, indicate significant investment in maintaining and upgrading the building's infrastructure, with all major renovation work showing proper permit acquisition and completion status.

Risk rating

How 160-162 Richland 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.

Neighborhood percentile
87th percentile

Out of 1276 buildings in this neighborhood, 166 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 85.9%
Moderate concern 10.2%
Severe concern 3.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
