Initial analysis

The property at 1223-1225 16th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1925, currently owned by the Low Gene K & Hannah S Trust. The most significant recent improvement to the building was a comprehensive kitchen remodel completed in 2015, which included countertop and cabinet replacement, new flooring, and associated plumbing and electrical work on the second floor. The electrical upgrade involved the installation of lighting, switches, receptacles, and appliance connections including a dishwasher, disposal, microwave, range, and smoke detectors. An earlier improvement was made in 1991, when 5/8" Type "X" fire-resistant drywall was installed in the garage.

The building's recent history shows no major safety incidents or building code violations, though there have been recurring issues with vehicles parking on the sidewalk outside the property, with three documented incidents between 2019 and 2024, two of which resulted in citations being issued. The surrounding area has experienced occasional street cleaning and maintenance needs, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls between 2011 and 2014 regarding loose garbage and debris, though these appear to be typical urban maintenance issues rather than building-specific problems. The most recent service requests in 2024 have been general public works matters not directly related to the building's condition or operation.

Risk rating

How 1223-1225 16Th 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 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 388 are predicted to be safer.
