Initial analysis

The 8-unit mixed-use building at 1295 17th Avenue in the Inner Sunset, owned by Leix Construction Co Inc, has undergone significant improvements in recent years, most notably completing mandatory soft-story retrofit work in 2017 that included both residential and commercial spaces, achieving full compliance with current seismic safety requirements. The property has been actively maintained, with recent work including a $25,000 barrier removal project completed in 2024 to improve accessibility, along with simultaneous plumbing and electrical upgrades for an ADA bathroom installation and electrical panel relocation. The building underwent substantial commercial space improvements in 2017, including mechanical installations and office partitioning, and is currently in the process of converting a retail space to a cafe as evidenced by permits filed in late 2024.

Historical records from the early 2000s show several building violations related to fire safety and maintenance issues, including concerns about fire proofing, egress obstructions, and combustible storage in the garage area. These violations, along with documented incidents of mold control issues in 2002, were all officially abated by August 2001. The building's maintenance history includes a 2015 reroofing project and various routine inspections, with no active violations or serious complaints on record since 2012. Recent 311 calls from 2023-2024 primarily relate to street maintenance issues outside the building, including illegal postings and sidewalk cleaning, which are being addressed by city services. The property has demonstrated ongoing commitment to safety and accessibility improvements, as evidenced by recent completed projects and all historical fire-related violations being previously resolved, with no recent fire safety concerns noted in the records.

Risk rating

How 1295 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.
