Initial analysis

The 155-157 Avila Street property is a two-unit multi-family residential building located in the Marina neighborhood, built in 1926 and classified as a two-story flats and duplex structure, currently owned by Konrad Krause. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past few decades, with the most recent major work being a reroofing project completed in 2003 at a cost of nearly $12,000. Notable structural maintenance includes a dry rot repair and renovation of the exterior stairway in 2001, though the initial permit for this work expired, requiring a subsequent renewal. Earlier improvements include kitchen renovations in 1999 involving cabinet, sink, and stove replacements, and the installation of a garage door opener in 2006.

The property has experienced numerous parking-related issues in the immediate vicinity recently, with eight reported incidents of sidewalk parking and three cases of driveway blocking or abandoned vehicles between August 2024 and January 2025. Most of these incidents resulted in officers being unable to locate the vehicles or determining there was no violation upon inspection, though one case in August 2024 resulted in an officer advising the vehicle owner of the violation. While these parking issues do not directly impact the building's condition or safety, they indicate ongoing challenges with street parking management in the immediate area.

Risk rating

How 155-157 Avila 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.
