Initial analysis

The Josephine Xia Zhao Trust property at 1367-1369 16th Avenue is a three-story, two-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood, built in 1924. The building has undergone several significant renovations and improvements over the past 15 years. Recent work completed in July 2023 addressed compliance requirements from physical inspection report #CC-8557, with corresponding electrical, plumbing, and building permits totaling approximately $5,000. In 2022, the property underwent front window replacements costing $20,000. Major renovations were performed in 2016, including the addition of two bedrooms and a bathroom to unit 1369 at the ground floor, plus the installation of a spiral staircase for improved floor connection, with a valuation of $70,000. Earlier improvements included substantial electrical upgrades in 2017, bathroom remodels, and a kitchen renovation in 2008.

The property has an active building complaint filed in September 2024 regarding an allegedly illegal basement unit with multiple occupants and unauthorized electrical work, which is currently under Housing Inspection Services review. Historical permits show attention to structural maintenance, including repairs to wall framing and porch work in 1988, though this permit is now expired. Recent 311 calls from 2023-2024 primarily relate to external maintenance issues such as sidewalk defects, garbage removal, and parking violations, which were typically resolved through city intervention. Notably, there was a tenant buyout in May 2016 for two tenants totaling $12,780, and the property has undergone various system upgrades including electrical service improvements to 150A in 2010, new furnace installation in 2017, and multiple bathroom and kitchen remodeling projects over the years.

Risk rating

How 1367-1369 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.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 314 are predicted to be safer.

Moderate concern 12.9%
Severe concern 3.3%
