Initial analysis

This two-unit residential building, located in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1927. Most notably, in 2022, the property received a substantial upgrade with the installation of eight new wood fiber windows replacing the old aluminum ones, achieving improved energy efficiency with a U-factor of 0.30 or better. Other major maintenance work includes a 2016 electrical service upgrade that increased the capacity from 60amps to 125amps, installation of a new dryer circuit, and garage improvements, and a 2010 complete reroofing project. The building has maintained consistent upkeep, with previous window replacements in 2004 and termite remediation in 1994.

Several issues have been reported regarding the property's immediate surroundings, with the most recent being a sewage backup incident in May 2022 that was resolved by PUC Sewer Operations. There is an ongoing concern from May 2022 about tree root damage to the sidewalk, which was accepted by DPW Operations and remains open. The property has experienced recurring parking-related issues, with three incidents in 2023-2024 involving vehicles blocking driveways, though most have been resolved promptly through parking enforcement. Prior to these, there were isolated incidents of illegal postings (2020) and hazardous materials (2015) on nearby public property, both of which were successfully addressed by city departments.

Risk rating

How 1267-1269 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
