Initial analysis

The four-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 1322 16th Avenue in the Inner Sunset, owned by the Olson Karl Estate, has undergone several significant improvements since its 1925 construction. Most notably, in October 2023, the building completed a substantial electrical system upgrade, installing a 200-amp service with individual metering for all four units and a house panel, representing a significant modernization of the building's infrastructure. Prior to this, in 2016, Unit 4 received a comprehensive kitchen renovation including new cabinets and countertops, which was properly permitted through both building and electrical permits.

The property has experienced recurring issues with unauthorized parking, particularly blocking the driveway, with a notable cluster of eight enforcement actions taken between February 2023 and June 2024. Each of these incidents resulted in citations being issued to the vehicles involved. Additionally, there have been three fire-related incidents recorded, though none resulted in civilian injuries or indicate any serious safety concerns - these included a smoke or odor removal situation, an unintentional alarm activation, and a false alarm call. The building's maintenance record appears generally good, with major systems receiving appropriate attention, though one service request from October 2023 was deemed invalid as it was determined to be on private property.

Risk rating

How 1322 16Th 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.
