Initial analysis

The 6-unit, 3-story apartment building at 17 Dicha Alley in the Jordan Park/Laurel Heights neighborhood, owned by E Louis & Jeannine D Filipp, was constructed in 1984 and has undergone several significant maintenance and safety-related events over its lifetime. Most recently, in September 2020, the building underwent termite repairs costing $55,000, following an inspection report. The building has a documented history of fire safety inspections and violations, with a notable cluster of issues in 2003 and 2008, including problems with fire extinguishers, emergency exits, smoke detectors, security features, and door closures. All these violations were officially abated by November 17, 2003, though some were originally identified during routine inspections in 2003 and 2008. The building's maintenance records show various structural and safety improvements over the years, including some incomplete and expired permits from 2000 for reroofing and from the 1970s for drywall partitions and plumbing work.

Recent activity around the property has included several 311 calls between 2019 and 2024, primarily concerning waste management issues such as garbage debris, toter placement, and sidewalk blockages, as well as some infrastructure concerns like a damaged side sewer vent cover in 2020. These service requests and complaints have generally been resolved through various city departments, including Recology, Parking Enforcement, and the Department of Public Works. The building's original permits and planning records indicate it was constructed as a 6-unit apartment building with 3 stories and parking stalls, though some permit records show as expired. While the building has experienced various maintenance and safety issues over the years, the records indicate these have typically been addressed and resolved through proper channels.

Risk rating

How 17 Dicha Aly'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 272 buildings in this neighborhood, 207 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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 60.3%
Moderate concern 28.3%
Severe concern 11.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
