Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 11-13 Milton Street in Bernal Heights, built in 1949, has undergone several maintenance and improvement projects over the years, with the most recent being the installation of a new sliding patio door in August 2023 at a cost of $4,700. A roofing project initiated in March 2004 appears to have expired without completing the work, though this is quite dated considering the time elapsed since. The building's maintenance history includes a concerning cluster of issues reported in November 1995, when multiple housing complaints were filed regarding loose wires in the ceiling, wall holes, water damage in a closet, plumbing leaks, and a potentially problematic ceiling, though these issues were marked as not active by January 1996.

More recent history (2023-2025) shows a pattern of external cleaning and maintenance needs in the vicinity of the property, with multiple 311 calls reporting various issues including graffiti (both private and public), and several reports of garbage and debris on the street and sidewalk. Between March and July 2024, there were at least six separate incidents involving loose garbage, debris, and abandoned furniture that required municipal attention, all of which were resolved. There was also a hazardous condition reported to the fire department, though no civilian injuries were noted and no specific date was provided. While the building has received some recent improvements and has been relatively stable in terms of major building issues since the 1995 complaints, the area immediately surrounding the property has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges requiring repeated city intervention.

Risk rating

How 11-13 Milton 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.
