Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1326-1328 17th Avenue in the Inner Sunset, owned by Li Pei-cheng and constructed in 1946, has undergone several notable improvements and faced recurring neighborhood issues over the past two decades. The property has seen significant infrastructure upgrades, including a substantial electrical system improvement in April 2003 with a 400-amp service and three meters installation for bathroom and laundry facilities, following a cancelled permit for a similar project earlier that year. Other major renovations include a 2002 ground floor expansion adding a guest room, game room, and full bath, and a 2003 repair of dry-rotted wood at the building's front.

In recent years, the property has experienced recurring parking-related incidents, with three documented cases between 2020 and 2024 involving illegal parking, including a July 2020 citation for sidewalk parking and a September 2023 driveway blocking attempt that officers were unable to locate. Two noise complaints have been logged, with the most recent being an open excessive noise case from August 2024, following a 2017 entertainment noise report that was accepted for department use. The building's maintenance record suggests attention to structural issues, particularly with the 2003 wood repairs, though no major building permits have been recorded in recent years.

Risk rating

How 1326-1328 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.

Neighborhood percentile
