Initial analysis

This two-unit residential building located at 1258 5th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood is owned by G & Gisele R Veach Doyle and was constructed in 1924. The property has undergone several significant improvements since the 1980s, including the installation of aluminum windows in 1984, vinyl siding in 1987, and a horizontal extension with new decks in 1986. More recent maintenance work includes a door replacement in 1997 and a reroofing project in 1988, though both permits are now expired.

The building has experienced several infrastructure challenges in the past decade, most notably a sewage backup incident in June 2022 that required PUC Sewer Operations intervention. There have been recurring issues with tree roots affecting the property, with two reports (2022 and 2018) documenting damage to sidewalks, and an open case from March 2022. The property has also faced various parking-related concerns, including multiple incidents of driveway blocking (2021 and 2022) and an abandoned vehicle report in 2020. While these issues have generally been resolved through appropriate channels, they suggest ongoing challenges with the property's immediate surroundings, particularly regarding street maintenance and parking enforcement.

Risk rating

How 1258 5Th 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.
