Initial analysis

The property at 727-729 15th Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1923, currently owned by the Eva Young Trust. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past two decades, with the most recent work completed in July 2023 involving the installation of James Hardie siding and trim on the rear wall and lightwells, costing approximately $44,850. The property has seen substantial infrastructure upgrades, including a bathroom remodel on the first floor in 2022 ($13,000), the installation of a 50,000 BTU hydronic heating boiler and a gas furnace replacement in 2015, and the addition of a 50-amp car charger with a new sub-panel in 2021.

Several permits indicate maintenance of the building's exterior and systems, including roofing work completed in 2006 and a cancelled permit for window replacement in 2021 that had been properly approved through planning. A housing complaints record from January 2020 mentioned concerns about an illegal unit with electrical and plumbing violations, though this case is now listed as not active. The building's parking history shows multiple citations for driveway blocking incidents between 2018 and 2019, though these are unrelated to the building's condition or permits. While the property appears to be actively maintained with regular updates to its systems and infrastructure, potential tenants should be aware of the historical housing complaint that was reported but not subsequently documented as resolved in the available records.

Risk rating

How 727-729 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 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 112 are predicted to be safer.
