Initial analysis

This two-unit multi-family residential building, located at 190 15th Ave in the Lake--The Presidio neighborhood, was constructed in 1915 and is classified as a Flats & Duplex structure with two stories, currently owned by Veronica A Tedeschi. The building has a documented history of maintenance and repairs, including significant work in the early 2000s involving dry-rot and stucco repairs, kitchen cabinet replacement, and historical records show earlier maintenance such as reroofing in 1990, and termite and dry rot repairs completed in 1989. The property has experienced various infrastructure issues over recent years, with one notable incident of flooding reported in December 2021, though this was resolved by the PUC Sewer Operations team.

The building's immediate vicinity has been subject to ongoing parking enforcement challenges, particularly in 2020-2023, with multiple reports of vehicles parking on sidewalks and blocking driveways, though most cases resulted in either citations or were unable to be verified by responding officers. A concerning incident was reported in December 2020 regarding a "clutter hoarder unit interior storage" situation, which was transferred to the Department of Public Health's Environmental Health division for follow-up. The property has also faced some external environmental challenges, including a currently open case from November 2020 regarding tree root damage to the sidewalk. While historical building permits indicate regular maintenance of the property over the decades, including kitchen renovations and structural repairs, the more recent incidents suggest ongoing issues with parking enforcement and property management that may affect resident experience.

Risk rating

How 190 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
49th percentile

Out of 660 buildings in this neighborhood, 337 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 age

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

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

Neighborhood location

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 76.5%
Moderate concern 19.4%
Severe concern 4.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
