Initial analysis

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 4810-4812 17th Street in the Parnassus/Ashbury Heights neighborhood, built in 1946 and owned by the Bianchi Wolf Revocable Trust, has undergone several significant improvements in recent years. Most notably, in 2018, major renovations were completed in both units, including a kitchen remodel with new cabinets, counters, fixtures, and LED recessed lighting, as well as bathroom improvements involving a new ventilation fan and shower modifications. This project also included window work and was accompanied by plumbing and electrical permits totaling approximately $50,000 in improvements. Prior to this, in 2017, the building underwent necessary infrastructure maintenance with the replacement of the sewer lateral and house trap system. Earlier improvements included a comprehensive window replacement project in 2012 that upgraded all bedroom windows to meet egress requirements, and a reroofing project completed in 2003.

The property has faced some recent challenges, particularly in relation to parking issues and street maintenance. Between September 2023 and October 2024, there were multiple incidents of vehicles blocking driveways, with several resulting in citations. Two abandoned vehicle reports were filed in late 2023, though one vehicle was gone upon inspection. A property damage incident involving a tree was reported in November 2024 and remains open. Additionally, there have been reports of human or animal waste on the property in October 2023 that is still pending resolution. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep and modernization efforts, with no documented health or safety violations in recent records.

Risk rating

How 4810-4812 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
83th percentile

Out of 526 buildings in this neighborhood, 89 are predicted to be safer.
