Initial analysis

The 4-unit multi-family residential building at 1374-1376 17th Avenue in the Inner Sunset, owned by Robert Beranek, was constructed in 1947 as a two-story apartment building. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and compliance updates over the years, with the most recent substantial work occurring in 2017 to repair damage behind the front stucco, as identified in a termite report, at a cost of $28,500. Previous notable improvements include a 2004 complete electrical system upgrade with new service and meters for all units, and a 2007 renovation that included removing slats and installing new windows in the courtyard, along with stairway handrail upgrades to meet code requirements. The building has a history of addressing safety and compliance issues, with multiple violations recorded in 2000 related to fire safety and security requirements, all of which were promptly abated within one month.

Recent inspections and maintenance records indicate that the property has been proactive in addressing building code requirements, including a routine inspection in 2011. While there have been numerous 311 calls regarding the property's location, these primarily relate to street and sidewalk issues rather than building conditions, with frequent reports of vehicles blocking driveways between 2020-2024, along with occasional general cleaning requests. The building's maintenance history shows attention to both structural and safety needs, with all recorded building permits completed successfully. The property has maintained compliance with housing inspection requirements since 2000, with no active violations or complaints on record in recent years, suggesting improved ongoing maintenance and adherence to building codes.

Risk rating

How 1374-1376 17Th 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.
