Initial analysis

The property at 727 17th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1923, currently owned by the Gee Family Revocable Trust. The building has undergone several significant maintenance upgrades over the past decade, including two roofing projects - one in 2011 costing $10,000 and another in 2019 costing $14,000 - demonstrating ongoing investment in building maintenance. In 2011, there was also a successful window replacement project involving twelve vinyl double-pane windows installed at the back of the building, improving energy efficiency with a U-factor of 0.4.

Recent concerns regarding the property primarily relate to parking issues, with multiple incidents reported between 2020 and 2023 involving vehicles blocking driveways or parking on sidewalks. Most notably, there were three separate reports in June 2023 involving the same black Nissan Sentra attempting to block the driveway, and a parking enforcement case in November 2023 involving a blue/grey Tesla. While these parking issues suggest potential challenges with on-street parking management in the area, they do not directly impact the building's structural integrity or resident comfort. The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep, particularly in terms of roof maintenance and window upgrades, which are significant quality-of-life improvements for residents.

Risk rating

How 727 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.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 562 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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 84.2%
Moderate concern 11.8%
Severe concern 4.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
