Initial analysis

The property at 15-17 Hemway Terrace is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in the Lone Mountain neighborhood, built in 1913 and currently owned by Eugene B. Anissimov. The building has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance projects over the past two decades, with the most recent major work occurring in late 2021 through early 2022, including a comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodel on multiple floors ($45,000) and the installation of new utilities such as heating units, gas lines, and electrical systems. The property has experienced recurring issues with the exterior wood egress stairs, beginning with a serious wood rot problem noted in 2019 that led to a withdrawn permit application, followed by repairs in 2020 ($10,000), and more recently addressed during the 2021-2022 renovations. Plumbing and electrical improvements have been substantial, including the installation of backflow prevention systems, a new boiler, and various bathroom and kitchen updates, though some permits show as expired and may require follow-up.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to basic infrastructure needs, including reroofing in 2004 and multiple heating and water system updates. A tenant buyout occurred in July 2021 for $70,000. Recent building complaints (May 2022) regarding construction debris and safety concerns were reported but are currently listed as not active. The surrounding area has experienced typical urban issues, including tree maintenance needs, streetlight repairs, and occasional parking enforcement matters, with the most recent infrastructure-related issues being resolved promptly. The property's documented history suggests ongoing maintenance and improvement efforts, particularly focusing on addressing structural and safety concerns.

Risk rating

How 15-17 Hemway Ter'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 519 buildings in this neighborhood, 57 are predicted to be safer.
