Initial analysis

370 Bartlett Street is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood, built in 1960 and currently owned by Hector Omar Chavez. The property has undergone several significant changes and faced numerous compliance issues over the years. Most recently, in October 2020, there was a filing for voluntary strengthening work to comply with the 2013 San Francisco Building Code. There are active concerns regarding the building's condition, particularly relating to an in-law unit at the rear of the building, with complaints about roof leaks, structural concerns about an allegedly weak patio, and multiple unpermitted modifications noted in 2016 that remain unresolved. The building's history includes attempts to legalize additional units, with a cancelled permit in 2017 for a street-level unit addition and a cancelled permit in 2018 for rear level unit legalization, though planning records show previous efforts to address this issue with various outcomes.

The property has a documented history of maintenance and safety concerns, particularly during the early 2000s and mid-2010s. Building violations from 2016 cited the property as a nuisance under section "1001-d" of the San Francisco Housing Code, noting various issues including unapproved modifications, missing required fire-resistant materials, and lack of smoke detectors. A routine inspection in 2007 identified multiple safety concerns, including problems with stairs, fire door requirements, and fire extinguisher maintenance. Earlier complaints from the 1990s documented issues with heating systems, plumbing, and general maintenance. Recent building permits show some positive maintenance activity, such as kitchen and bathroom renovations in 2017 and window upgrades in 2012, though some permits were cancelled rather than completed. The building's location has experienced typical urban challenges as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2023-2025 regarding street conditions, though these relate more to exterior environment issues rather than building-specific problems.

Risk rating

How 370 Bartlett 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

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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

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

Neighborhood location

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

12-Month severity forecast

Moderate concern 23.1%
Severe concern 19.4%
