Initial analysis

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 17-19 Casa Way in the Marina neighborhood, built in 1929, has undergone significant renovations and faced several challenges, particularly during the period of 2006-2008. Major improvements completed during 2007 included window replacements (16 windows), electrical upgrades (including replacing fuse boxes with breaker boxes), bathroom remodeling in Unit 17, and plumbing updates including a new steam boiler installation and copper pipe work. The property experienced multiple violations in 2007, including issues with water damage, drainage pipes, electrical outlets, ceilings, walls, and heating systems, though all of these violations were officially abated by April 22, 2010. Fire safety concerns were documented in 2006-2007, including blocked exit stairways and accessibility issues with fire extinguishers, though these violations were also resolved.

More recent records (2022-2024) show the property has maintained better compliance with basic safety requirements, though there have been several complaints regarding sidewalk and curb conditions, as well as parking enforcement issues. A notable recent planning record from 2023 indicates an intent to perform interior remodeling, structural upgrades, and fire sprinkler work, along with possible modifications to the façade and a new roof deck. The building's maintenance history suggests significant improvements were made during the 2006-2008 period, addressing many of the safety and comfort issues that had been documented through complaints and violations.

Risk rating

How 17-19 Casa Way'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 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 207 are predicted to be safer.
