Initial analysis

Situated in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood, 1322 17th Avenue is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1953 and currently owned by the Gee Family Trust. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past six years, including a kitchen renovation in Unit 3 (2019) and an electrical upgrade in Unit 4 that replaced the fuse panel with circuit breakers (2017). More concerning was a 2019 incident involving a malfunctioning shower with no hot water, non-compliant flooring, and a dryer lint hazard, which was resolved within weeks. The building has maintained a regular inspection schedule, with the most recent routine housing inspection occurring in October 2019, addressing multiple safety concerns including fire escape functionality, smoke enclosure issues, and various maintenance requirements, all of which were subsequently resolved.

The property's maintenance history shows some attention to building systems, including a furnace replacement permit from March 2019, though this permit has since expired. Earlier violations from 2000 were addressed promptly, including installation of smoke detectors and fire safety improvements. The building's recent history (2022-2024) has primarily involved external issues such as parking violations and street cleaning matters, with several documented cases of driveway blocking leading to citations. The property management has generally responded to compliance requirements, as evidenced by the resolution of multiple fire safety and maintenance issues identified during routine inspections.

Risk rating

How 1322 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.
