Initial analysis

1351 5th Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood. Built in 1910, this flats and duplex property is currently owned by the Lisa & John Arata Revocable Living Trust. The building's maintenance history shows attention to structural elements, with two significant repairs documented: a stair repair or rebuild at the mid-lightwell area completed in 2017 at a cost of $12,000, and a reroofing project from 2003 costing $4,000, both of which indicate responsible building upkeep.

The property has experienced minimal issues based on available records, with only three incidents reported through 311 calls in the past decade. In 2018, there were two related incidents involving public works services - one being a general service request and the other a compliment regarding outreach efforts, though the specific nature of these incidents was not detailed in the records. A sidewalk defect was reported in February 2012, described as a collapsed sidewalk, which presumably was the responsibility of the property or adjacent property owners to address. While these incidents demonstrate some infrastructure challenges in the surrounding area, they appear to be isolated events rather than ongoing problems. The building's age and maintenance history, particularly the attention given to major structural elements like stairs and roofing, suggest regular upkeep by the current ownership, though no recent permits or major repairs have been documented in the past six years.

Risk rating

How 1351 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.
