Initial analysis

The two-story, eight-unit apartment building at 183 14th Avenue, constructed in 1924 and currently owned by Joanne M Gomez Separate Pro, has undergone several significant maintenance and safety improvements over the past two decades. Most recently, a new steam boiler was installed in July 2023, and between 2008 and 2016, the property has seen updates including a water heater replacement (2008) and a fence replacement (2016). The building experienced a major cluster of fire safety violations in 2001, including issues with the central alarm system, combustible storage, fire proofing materials, fire extinguisher maintenance, and the need for automatic fire sprinklers over garbage receptacles. However, all these violations were resolved by June 2002. The building has also undergone routine inspections over the years, including one in 2008 that resulted in several safety improvements being completed. A minor fence safety issue was reported in May 2016, though these complaints were marked as not active.

Additional maintenance records include a 1997 reroofing permit (now expired) and a UL Certification verification in July 2016 that was resolved by August 2016. Recent 311 calls from 2021-2022 primarily concerned street cleaning issues unrelated to the building's condition. While the property has had several violations in its history, significant safety improvements have been made, particularly regarding fire safety systems, and there are no active violations on record. The most recent building-related work was completed in July 2023 with the installation of a new steam boiler system.

Risk rating

How 183 14Th 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
8th percentile

Out of 660 buildings in this neighborhood, 607 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

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 49.7%
Moderate concern 28.7%
Severe concern 21.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
