Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 164 15th Avenue, owned by the Christine A Neer Trust, is a 2-story flats & duplex structure built in 1913 in the Lake --The Presidio neighborhood. The property has undergone several significant renovations over the years, with the most recent and substantial work completed in early 2024 totaling $35,000, including unit painting, floor refinishing, kitchen and bathroom upgrades. This renovation was accompanied by related plumbing work (new kitchen sink, faucet, countertop; new bathroom fixtures) and electrical improvements (new bath exhaust fan and GFCI receptacle). Historical records show earlier maintenance work including termite remediation and cabinet replacement in 1990, reroofing in 1996, and street space work in 2018.

The property has experienced recurring parking-related issues, with eight documented incidents between 2022 and 2024 involving blocked driveways and sidewalk parking, most of which resulted in citations or enforcement actions. There was one report of overgrown trees in September 2022, which was referred to urban forestry for action. The only fire incident on record was a false alarm or call with no civilian injuries reported. Recent construction work in early 2024 prompted two complaints about equipment blocking access, though inspections found no ongoing issues. While the recent renovations suggest regular property maintenance, the persistent parking violations in the vicinity may impact resident access and convenience.

Risk rating

How 164-166 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

Out of 660 buildings in this neighborhood, 165 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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 78.9%
Moderate concern 18.4%
Severe concern 2.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
