Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 783-785 17th Avenue, located in the Central Richmond neighborhood, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1924, currently owned by Oyharcabal Henry & Maciel L. The property has undergone several significant infrastructure improvements over the past 15 years, including a comprehensive electrical upgrade in 2014 to a 3-meter 200-amp service, installation of eight vinyl retrofit windows in 2015, and the addition of a gas fireplace that same year. Plumbing work includes two completed sewer replacement projects from 2008 and a recent sewer back-up incident in December 2024 that required intervention from PUC - Sewer Operations.

Recent history shows multiple quality-of-life issues, particularly during 2022, when there were three documented instances of excessive noise that warranted attention through the Noise Report Queue. The property has also been subjected to some external maintenance issues, including a street space permit in 2017, loose garbage concerns in 2020, and tree-related sidewalk maintenance notifications in 2019 indicating potential trip hazards. The only recorded fire incident was a false alarm, and there were two separate incidents of driveway blocking in 2019 related to a red Toyota vehicle, one of which resulted in a citation. While the building has received various upgrades to improve its systems and infrastructure, recent maintenance issues, particularly the sewer back-up, warrant attention.

Risk rating

How 783-785 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
