Initial analysis

The property at 1275-1277 14th Avenue is a two-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood, owned by Sweetwood Fmly Tr Trust A. Built in 1939, the building has undergone several significant improvements over the years, including a substantial renovation in 2007 that added a full bathroom to the second floor unit, remodeled both kitchens and bathrooms at a cost of $40,000. More recent improvements include the installation of new trench drains at the entrance and garage areas in 2020, and replacement of the front gate with a recessed paneled door and sidelights in 2019.

The building has experienced various maintenance and safety issues over its history, most notably in 2006 when multiple violations were documented regarding lead paint concerns, plumbing problems, and fire safety issues - all of which were abated by October 2006. During this period, the property experienced significant maintenance problems including water damage, mold, electrical issues, and asbestos concerns, which reportedly had gone unaddressed despite prior communications. Earlier complaints from 1998 regarding unauthorized motorcycle repair activities on the premises were resolved promptly. Recent records (2022-2024) show primarily exterior-related issues such as parking violations and debris concerns, with no significant internal building problems reported in recent years. The property has maintained active compliance with building codes since the major 2006 renovation corrections, with all recent permits marked as complete.

Risk rating

How 1275-1277 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.
