Initial analysis

The 4-unit multi-family residential building at 181 Lucky Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood has a complex maintenance and compliance history since its construction in 1900. Most recently, in 2023, the building addressed significant water damage and mold issues with a bathroom remodel costing approximately $20,000, including both plumbing and electrical work, which was completed successfully. The property has undergone multiple renovation projects over the past decade, including comprehensive bathroom remodels in 2015 ($20,000), kitchen improvements on the second floor, and window replacements to comply with various violations. Historical records show recurring issues with the building's stairways, with repairs documented in 2003, 2004, and 2012, suggesting ongoing structural maintenance challenges.

The building has experienced several notable compliance issues over the years, with the most recent violations in early 2023 related to interior surface problems including mold/mildew, floor covering issues, water damage, and plumbing concerns. These violations were ultimately addressed through the bathroom renovation completed in March 2023. Previous building violations from 2003 highlighted concerns with egress obstruction, stair repairs, and fire extinguisher maintenance, though these were resolved by March 2004. The property's maintenance history also shows several instances of unauthorized work and permit violations, including an asbestos-related complaint in 2015 and unpermitted gas line modifications in 2022. While the building has undergone various improvements and repairs, the pattern of violations and complaints suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly with water-related issues and building access elements.

Risk rating

How 181 Lucky 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.
