Initial analysis

The two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 1254 24th Avenue in the Central Sunset neighborhood, owned by Ta Teddy, was constructed in 1930 and has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years. The building's history shows attention to window upgrades, with two separate permits in 1985 and 1988 for the installation of aluminum windows in existing frames (totaling 39 windows), and a reroofing project completed in 1989. In 1986, there was a notable comprehensive effort to bring the building into full compliance with municipal codes. Multiple routine housing inspections were conducted between 2000 and 2009, revealing various maintenance issues that required attention, particularly related to fire safety systems including fire extinguisher maintenance, fire proofing repairs, and combustible storage concerns. The most recent inspection in 2009 identified additional needs for handrails and stair repairs, though all violations were subsequently abated by early 2010.

Recent history from 2022 to present shows ongoing infrastructure concerns in the vicinity of the building, including multiple reports of illegal parking and driveway blocking between 2022 and 2024, as well as sidewalk maintenance issues. There is an open service request from February 2023 regarding a collapsed sidewalk, and a pavement defect report from June 2024. A tree maintenance request from November 2023 was affected by the implementation of Prop-E, which prioritized certain tree care projects citywide. While recent maintenance records show no significant building-specific violations, the recurring issues with parking violations and external infrastructure problems suggest ongoing challenges in the immediate area, though these are primarily external to the building itself.

Risk rating

How 1254 24Th 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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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