Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1327-1329 15th Avenue in the Inner Sunset neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1924, currently owned by Jerry & Lorraine Ma since 2020. The property's history shows regular maintenance and improvements, with the most recent significant renovation being a complete kitchen remodel in 2020, which included plumbing and electrical work at a total cost of $20,000. The building has undergone several major works over the years, including a conversion from a single-family home to a two-family dwelling in 1986 with horizontal extensions. Roof maintenance appears to have been addressed periodically, with documented reroofing projects in 1996 and 2005, though the 1996 permit is noted as expired. The only recorded 311 call was in 2014 regarding a streetlight issue on a wooden pole, which was promptly resolved by PG&E within one day of reporting.

Risk rating

How 1327-1329 15Th 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, 314 are predicted to be safer.
