Initial analysis

This two-unit residential building, located at 1351-1353 16th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood, is a 2-story flats/duplex structure built in 1924, currently owned by Barbara Wai-yee Jung and Ken. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most recent being a comprehensive window replacement project in 2019, where 16 windows were upgraded to energy-efficient models with a U-factor of 0.32 or better, at a cost of $7,000. Earlier improvements include a kitchen remodeling project in 1995 and reroofing work in the same year, both of which were completed successfully.

The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep, with two fire-related complaints in 2015 (one regarding alarm systems and another categorized as "uncategorized") found to have no merit upon investigation. The property has experienced some external maintenance issues, including multiple parking enforcement incidents in 2023 and 2020 involving vehicles obstructing sidewalks and driveways, with at least one resulting in a tow. There were also some tree-related concerns in 2018 and 2019, with reports of damaged and illegally topped trees, though these issues appear to have been addressed by 2021. Other incidents include an illegal posting removal in 2021 and a noise complaint in 2017, both of which were resolved through appropriate channels. The building's location has experienced recurring issues with street parking violations, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls between 2017 and 2023, though these are primarily external neighborhood concerns rather than building-specific problems.

Risk rating

How 1351-1353 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.
