Initial analysis

The property at 763 15th Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood. Built in 1923 and classified as a Flats & Duplex building, it is currently owned by Valter George & P M 1999 Tr. The building's maintenance history shows attention to roof maintenance, with a recent permitted project filed in June 2020 for a complete reroofing installation of a new 3-ply modified bitumen built-up roof, following an earlier expired reroof permit from 1993. A notable incident occurred in October 2001 when there was a complaint regarding the unauthorized demolition of an existing building and construction of a new school facility that allegedly affected neighboring foundations, though this complaint was abated the following day.

The property has experienced a recent cluster of street-related issues, particularly in 2023-2024, with multiple reports of abandoned vehicles and illegal parking in the vicinity, including three separate abandoned vehicle reports between October and November 2023, and similar complaints continuing into 2024. Parking enforcement responded to these complaints, resulting in various outcomes including citations and vehicles being gone upon inspection. Of particular note is a general cleaning issue reported in March 2023 involving loose garbage, which remains open in the system. More recently, there was a public health environmental request for service filed in October 2024, though details on this matter are limited as it has been transferred to another agency for handling. The building's permit and violation history suggests relatively minimal internal building issues, with most recent concerns focusing on external street maintenance and parking enforcement matters rather than structural or safety issues within the building itself.

Risk rating

How 763 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
