Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1243 14th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood has undergone several notable changes and improvements since its construction in 1996. The property was originally built as a two-unit residential dwelling (March 1996) following the demolition of a single-family home on the site. Significant improvements include a reroofing project completed in 2006 at a cost of $6,500, and a residential solar installation in 2011 featuring 12 roof-mounted solar PV modules with a total rating of 2.64 kW, demonstrating a commitment to sustainable energy. The most recent infrastructure upgrade occurred in 2004 with the addition of a house number designation.

The property has experienced recurring parking-related issues in the immediate vicinity, particularly concerning driveway access, with multiple parking enforcement calls recorded between 2022-2025. Of note, there were five documented incidents of vehicles blocking driveways in 2024 alone, with one resulting in a citation in September 2023. Historical records also show a December 2012 issue with garbage cans being left out continuously, though this appears to have been resolved through communication from the Department of Public Works. The building's maintenance and improvements appear to be regular, with no major structural or safety concerns reported in the available documentation.

Risk rating

How 1243 14Th 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, 164 are predicted to be safer.
