Initial analysis

The 4-unit apartment building at 1203-1209 15th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood, owned by Efstathios Theodorides, is a 2-story structure built in 1924. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and safety improvements over the years, with the most recent being a complete sewer replacement in August 2024 and a reroofing project in April 2023 costing $39,750. Notable historical improvements include the installation of a fire sprinkler system in 1991, bathroom and kitchen remodels in 2000, and multiple roofing projects dating back to 1997. The building faced several violations in 2018 related to lead paint hazards, which were finally abated in August 2023, along with multiple other health and safety violations issued in 2009 concerning security, electrical systems, handrails, and fire safety equipment. There was a significant building complaint in 2018 regarding illegal construction and parking of equipment, which is now inactive.

Recent activity around the property indicates ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding waste management, with numerous 311 calls in late 2024 and early 2025 related to garbage and debris issues on the street. A gas leak incident was recorded at the property, though no civilian injuries were reported. The property has a history of occupancy-related complaints from the mid-1990s, including allegations of unauthorized unit conversions and security issues, but these have been resolved. The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep, with several permits being issued for various systems improvements, including electrical service conversion to underground and plumbing work. Theodorides has completed two tenant buyouts in recent years, one in 2017 for $25,000 involving 4 tenants at a nearby property on Lincoln Way, and another in 2023 for $34,000 involving 2 tenants at 1205 15th Avenue.

Risk rating

How 1203-1209 15Th 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.
