Initial analysis

The property at 1314-1316 5th Avenue in the Inner Sunset neighborhood is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1906, currently owned by the Alice N Matsumoto Revocable Living Trust. The building's maintenance history shows several significant improvements and maintenance work over the years, including a substantial window replacement project in 2001 costing $9,840, and a completed project from June 2000 costing $7,000. More recently, there have been notable issues with the sidewalk infrastructure around the property, particularly in September 2023, when multiple reports were filed regarding sidewalk defects, including lifted and collapsed sections, though these were ultimately resolved and one was identified as a utility vault cover issue. The property's external environment has required regular attention to street cleanliness, with multiple reports of general cleaning needs and loose garbage from 2010 through 2023, including a hazardous materials incident involving glass in December 2023.

The building's permit history includes an issued street space permit from 2009, though two sidewalk-related permits from 2000 expired without recorded completion. The property has experienced ongoing urban maintenance challenges typical of the neighborhood, with multiple reports to the Department of Public Works regarding various street and sidewalk issues over the years. While many of these issues have been resolved through appropriate municipal channels, they indicate a pattern of environmental maintenance needs in the immediate vicinity. The most recent infrastructure concerns from September 2023, including sidewalk and curb defects, suggest that the building's immediate surroundings continue to require periodic attention to maintain pedestrian safety and accessibility standards.

Risk rating

How 1314-1316 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.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 537 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 78.4%
Moderate concern 13.8%
Severe concern 7.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
