Initial analysis

132 Sickles Avenue is a 12-unit, three-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1965, currently owned by the Darcy Trust 1996. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects in recent years, including multiple window replacements (2023-2024), dry rot repairs and siding replacement (2024), and bathroom ventilation improvements (2019). The building has also experienced notable fire safety concerns, with recent violations in 2024 regarding sleeping area requirements and alarm system maintenance, though some violations from 2021 related to fire escape and exit issues have been abated. A pattern of fire safety violations is evident, with similar issues recorded in 2019 regarding sprinklers, alarm systems, and exits.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to various systems and infrastructure, including a complete re-roofing in 2017, electrical system upgrades, and modifications to improve garbage room functionality in 2019. Several complaints were filed between 2019 and 2024, including issues with heat, plumbing, and elevator functionality, some of which were notated as abated. The property has a documented history of routine housing inspections dating back to 1999, with some past violations related to safety equipment and building access that were addressed. Recent 311 calls from 2022-2024 primarily involve parking enforcement and street cleaning matters outside the building's immediate maintenance scope.

Risk rating

How 132 Sickles 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

Out of 112 buildings in this neighborhood, 110 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.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Number of units

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

Neighborhood location

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 7.5%
Moderate concern 54.8%
Severe concern 37.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
