Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1327-1329 5th Avenue in the Inner Sunset, owned by Peter M. Schumacher and Ju May, has undergone several significant improvements and maintenance work since its construction in 1907. Most recently, in December 2023, a substantial reroofing project was completed at a cost of $26,900. The building has seen important infrastructure upgrades, including the replacement of approximately 50 feet of sewer pipe in the garage area and 16 feet of sewer lateral line in 2022, as well as the installation of tankless water heaters and associated gas line work in 2017, which were part of a broader renovation that included garage electrical improvements and structural work.

The property has a history of addressing various maintenance issues, including foundation support work in 2007 (following a building complaint about unauthorized excavation), rot repairs in 2001, and multiple roof-related improvements. A solar PV system was installed in 2012, demonstrating renewable energy adoption. Recent concerns have centered around sidewalk maintenance, with multiple defect reports filed in August 2023 regarding collapsed sidewalks and tree root damage, while historical issues include dry rot repairs in 1988 and various plumbing updates. The building experienced a tenant buyout in October 2018, with two tenants receiving $30,000 to vacate.

Risk rating

How 1327-1329 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
93th percentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 105 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.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 84.4%
Moderate concern 10.3%
Severe concern 5.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
