Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 4732 17th Street in the Parnassus/Ashbury Heights neighborhood, owned by Agbai Fmly Tr, was originally constructed in 1941 as a one-story flats and duplex structure. The property has undergone several significant renovations and improvements over the past decade, with the most recent substantial work including multiple kitchen remodels (2022), window replacements (2021), and various permitted alterations to both units. Notable recent enhancements include plumbing work completed in December 2024 for water service replacement, and the installation of new kitchen cabinetry and countertops in 2022, though some associated permits have since expired. The building's infrastructure has been maintained with older improvements including a bathroom remodel (2010), roofing replacement (2010), and upper deck repairs (2010).

The property's maintenance history shows attention to both interior and exterior improvements, with several ambitious proposed projects being withdrawn, including plans for a third-story addition and ADU unit in 2020. Recent exterior issues have been documented through 311 calls, particularly regarding sidewalk defects reported in 2020 and 2022, and graffiti incidents in late 2023. The building's safety record shows no civilian injuries from the two recorded fire incidents, which were categorized as a hazardous condition and a false alarm. Planning records confirm the property's status as a legalized two-unit dwelling, with appropriate variance approvals and completed improvements. The building's most recent documented issues primarily relate to exterior maintenance and urban environment concerns, rather than structural or safety matters within the building itself.

Risk rating

How 4732 17Th 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.

Neighborhood percentile
78th percentile

Out of 526 buildings in this neighborhood, 116 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 permits (past 7 years)

Number of permits pulled at this address — construction or renovation activity over 7 years.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 77.3%
Moderate concern 19.1%
Severe concern 3.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
