Initial analysis

The 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1385 16th Avenue in the Inner Sunset was constructed in 1954 and has undergone several significant improvements over recent years. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory Tier 3 soft-story retrofit in 2014 involving concrete grade beams, moment frames, and plywood shear walls to enhance seismic safety. In 2019, substantial modernization work was performed, including a comprehensive bathroom and kitchen remodeling project ($25,000), electrical panel upgrade with fire-rated partitions, and the installation of a new 200-amp main service system for all units. The building received important maintenance attention with plumbing upgrades in 2020, specifically replacing bathroom fixtures and kitchen sinks. Historical records from 2010 indicate previous issues with dry rot on stairs and railings in the back deck area, though these repairs were addressed.

Recent activity in and around the building has been predominantly related to parking violations, with multiple incidents of blocked driveways reported between 2023 and 2024. While most of these complaints were resolved through official citations, there were some instances where officers were unable to locate the offending vehicles. Three street cleaning-related complaints were filed in 2024, though these appeared to be primarily related to construction activity in the vicinity rather than building-specific issues. The building's last documented housing inspection in 2001 showed no actionable violations. Overall, the property appears to have received regular maintenance and safety upgrades, particularly in terms of seismic compliance and electrical infrastructure, with no significant recent building-specific complaints or violations on record.

Risk rating

How 1385 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, 866 are predicted to be safer.
