Initial analysis

This two-story, multi-family residential building located at 143 Sickles Ave in the Outer Mission neighborhood was constructed in 1922 and contains two units, currently owned by Annie Liu. The property has seen significant recent improvements, particularly in 2024, with the installation of new heat pump water heaters in both units completed in April 2024, along with associated electrical work. A plumbing permit for wall heater replacement was filed in June 2024 but was subsequently canceled. Earlier building modifications include a street space usage permit issued in September 2019.

The property has experienced multiple municipal service calls over the past year, with the most frequent issues relating to parking violations, including multiple citations for sidewalk parking between August and December 2024. Other noteworthy concerns include an open case regarding an overgrown tree near communication lines (reported November 2024) and a recently damaged driveway curb noted in an August 2024 inspection. The building's immediate vicinity has seen recurring issues with garbage and debris, as evidenced by several 311 calls throughout 2024, though most have been resolved promptly. A case of mailbox graffiti was reported and transferred to USPS for handling in December 2023.

Risk rating

How 143 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

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.

Neighborhood location

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

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 49.6%
Moderate concern 23.0%
Severe concern 27.4%
