Initial analysis

The 1301-1317 17th Avenue property in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood is a 3-story mixed-use building constructed in 1923, containing 10 residential units plus commercial space, currently owned by Irving Street LLC. Recent activity at the property has primarily focused on commercial space modifications, including a 2018 project to split one retail space into two, which involved non-load bearing wall additions, new restroom facilities, and various electrical upgrades including emergency lighting and water heating equipment. The building has undergone several accessibility improvements in recent years, most notably in 2016 when barrier removal work was completed to upgrade ground floor restrooms to meet current accessibility requirements.

The property has maintained compliance with safety requirements, demonstrated by regular updates to fire safety systems, including the installation of smoke detectors in 2019 and the completion of multiple electrical and plumbing upgrades between 2016-2018. A notable planning issue was documented in December 2021 regarding the unauthorized operation of Woodside International School, which was subsequently closed and abated. Recent complaints filed in June 2023 regarding the property's commercial spaces are listed as not active, and there have been no significant building violations affecting resident safety or habitability. The property has faced recurring issues with sidewalk garbage and debris, with multiple reports from January 2025 showing resolved cases of overflowing city garbage cans. While these environmental concerns are not directly related to building maintenance, they may affect the immediate surroundings of the property.

Risk rating

How 1301-1317 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.
