Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1200 23rd Ave in San Francisco's Central Sunset neighborhood was constructed in 1927 and is currently owned by H & K Associates. The most significant recent events occurred in May 2024, when the property faced multiple violations related to unauthorized construction work. These included both stair repairs and roofing work, with complaints filed on May 10 and 13 regarding unsafe conditions and work being performed without proper permits. The violations were promptly addressed, with the necessary permits for roof repairs totaling $12,000 being issued in May 2024 to rectify the situation.

The building's recent history has also seen various maintenance and neighborhood issues, with the most notable being the repair of unsafe stairs (with associated violation) and roofing work (both resolved by June 2024). The property has been the subject of multiple 311 calls throughout 2024, including reports of graffiti, illegal parking, trash dumping, and noise complaints. While many of these issues were resolved through proper channels, they reflect ongoing maintenance and environmental challenges in the surrounding area. The building's permit and violation history suggests a period of attention to structural maintenance requirements, though these were primarily addressed through proper channels once violations were issued. The property had no recorded building violations or significant complaints prior to 2024, indicating that most structural issues appear to have emerged recently.

Risk rating

How 1200 23Rd 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.
