Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 182-184 17th Avenue, owned by Joanne Carmen Chan, is a two-story flats/duplex structure built in 1922 in the Lake -- The Presidio neighborhood. The property has undergone several significant renovations, with the most substantial work occurring between 2008-2009, including comprehensive updates to both units. The lower unit (184) received extensive interior upgrades in 2009, including wall replacements with fire-rated drywall, insulation installation, and electrical system improvements featuring new circuits and appliances. The second floor underwent a $22,000 kitchen and bathroom remodel in late 2008, while a third-floor renovation in early 2008 involved kitchen modifications and bathroom updates. Major structural work was completed in 2005 with the installation of a steel beam replacing a wooden one and foundation work at the rear.

Recent concerns primarily relate to parking violations, with multiple reports of sidewalk parking between 2020 and 2024, though most were either unable to be verified or resulted in citations. The building's maintenance history shows regular updates to essential systems, including electrical, plumbing, and structural elements, with no recorded safety incidents or significant maintenance issues. Two reports of hazardous materials requiring street cleaning were filed in August 2021, and there was one false fire alarm incident recorded, but no civilian injuries were reported. The property's permit history demonstrates consistent improvement and updating of both units, with particular attention paid to modernizing systems and improving safety features, though the construction work appears to be mostly historical rather than ongoing.

Risk rating

How 182-184 17Th 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.
