Initial analysis

The 472 Bartlett St property is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood, owned by John A. Satre and constructed in 1912. The building has undergone several significant infrastructure improvements over the years, including a sewer line replacement in 2015 and a gas houseline extension in 2010, both of which were completed successfully. Historical records show earlier maintenance work including street space and sidewalk repairs in 2006 and reroofing work in 1994, though the latter permit is listed as expired. A notable fire incident occurred at the building, classified as an equipment or heat source failure, though fortunately resulted in no civilian injuries.

The property has experienced recurring street-level challenges typical of urban environments, with multiple 311 calls primarily relating to sidewalk cleaning (2019-2021), parking issues (2022), and encampment concerns (2018-2019). These cases have generally been resolved through appropriate city agency responses, with several involving general cleaning of loose garbage and at least one case (April 2019) confirming no encampment presence after agency verification. In 2018, there was an issue with a damaged tree that was found to be infected with blight upon inspection by Bureau of Urban Forestry. The building's residential permits suggest regular upkeep of essential systems, with particular attention paid to plumbing infrastructure in recent years.

Risk rating

How 472 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
