Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 487-489 14th Avenue in San Francisco's Central Richmond district is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1916, currently owned by Mehmet & Nevin Turgut Revoc. The property has undergone several significant renovations over the past decade, including a comprehensive $30,000 kitchen and bathroom remodeling project in 2011, which sparked a complaint about unauthorized demolition work that was later resolved. During the same period, the building's plumbing system was updated with new rainwater connections, while electrical improvements included a major service upgrade to 200-amp dual metering stations with new distribution panels. In December 2012, the garage area received substantial upgrades including cleaning, new water heaters, sheetrock installation, and electrical improvements with additional outlets and lighting, following a compliance order.

More recent building history shows maintenance of basic infrastructure and compliance with city requirements. The most recent building permit from February 2020 was for street space work at minimal cost. The property has experienced recurring issues with driveway blocking, particularly in 2023-2024, with multiple citations issued through parking enforcement. Recent external maintenance issues have been documented through 311 calls, including a signal box graffiti incident in October 2023 and one instance of trash dumping in September 2023, both of which were resolved. The building's historical permits also show earlier work including a reroofing project from 1995, though this permit has since expired. The property appears to have undergone regular maintenance and upgrading of its systems over the years, with all major recent permits listed as completed.

Risk rating

How 487-489 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

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 810 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 size

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

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.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 80.5%
Moderate concern 14.1%
Severe concern 5.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
