Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1727-1729 Leavenworth Street in San Francisco's Russian Hill neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1925, currently owned by Tom Richard L. The building's documented history shows a series of maintenance and property care issues primarily occurring between 2021 and 2023. In August 2021, there were multiple incidents of parking sign defacement, with at least four separate reports filed, all of which were subsequently resolved. More recently, in June 2023, the property experienced non-offensive graffiti on the sidewalk in front of the building and a reported case of sidewalk parking involving a grey Honda Pilot, though the responding officer was unable to locate the vehicle. An earlier incident from 2019 involved loose garbage on the street/sidewalk, which was addressed through general cleaning efforts. The building's only recorded permit in the past decade was a street space-related issuance in September 2012 with a minimal associated cost of $1.

The property has experienced various maintenance and environmental challenges over the past decade, with a notable concentration of incidents related to graffiti and sign defacement. While most of these issues have been resolved through appropriate channels, the frequency of occurrences in 2021 raises some concern about the property's immediate surroundings during that period. The most recent documented incident, from June 2023, was relatively minor and involved public rather than building-specific infrastructure. The property's permit history shows minimal official modifications or improvements over the past ten years, with only the one street space-related permit on record.

Risk rating

How 1727-1729 Leavenworth 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.
