Initial analysis

The two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 14-16 15th Avenue, owned by the J Lee Revocable Trust, was constructed in 1941 in the Lake-The Presidio neighborhood. Recent significant improvements were made in 2013, including the installation of two new powder rooms in both units, complete electrical system upgrades replacing old knob and tube wiring with modern Romex, and comprehensive plumbing upgrades featuring new showers, toilets, lavatories, and laundry facilities in both units, along with new furnace installation in the garage to replace old units. The electrical system received attention in 2003 with an underground service conversion and installation of two meters.

The building has experienced several issues in recent years, with multiple 311 calls recorded between 2022-2024, primarily related to parking violations including multiple reports of driveway blocking which resulted in citations. There have also been some concerning resident experience incidents in 2024, including excessive noise complaints and reports of property damage. The fire incident records show five responses between 2018-2020, though none involved civilian injuries or major emergencies, with reasons including water evacuation, false alarms, and a smoke odor investigation. While these improvements and incidents provide a snapshot of the building's history, they demonstrate significant investment in infrastructure improvements in 2013, with more recent concerns primarily relating to parking and noise issues.

Risk rating

How 14-16 15Th Ave'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
82th percentile

Out of 660 buildings in this neighborhood, 119 are predicted to be safer.
