Initial analysis

This four-story, two-unit multi-family residential building located at 146-148 16th Avenue in the Lake-Presidio neighborhood was completed in 2003 and is currently owned by Tina Curatolo Robertson. The property has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, most notably a series of dry rot problems affecting both the structure and shed at the rear of the property. In 2024, the building required multiple repair permits totaling $75,000 to address these issues, including work on the shed ($25,000), siding replacement ($25,000), and window replacements ($9,000). These repairs are in response to a July 2024 complaint investigation revealing unauthorized construction and height modifications of the rear shed, which resulted in an active building violation. The building's maintenance history also shows attention to interior improvements, with a completed bathroom remodel on the third floor in 2010 that included plumbing and electrical upgrades.

The property's original construction in 2002 included the installation of a fire sprinkler system and associated fire safety equipment. Historical records indicate some initial construction disputes regarding building height and compliance with approved plans, with violations filed in September 2002 concerning excessive height (41'3" instead of the approved 40') and unauthorized removal of walls and joists, though these were subsequently resolved. The building's external environment has faced various municipal issues over the years, including sidewalk damage from tree roots (2020-2022), though these concerns were primarily related to public infrastructure rather than the building itself. Recent 311 calls have documented various neighborhood issues including parking violations and tree maintenance needs, but these are unrelated to the building's structural or safety conditions.

Risk rating

How 146-148 16Th 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.
