Initial analysis

The three-story, two-unit multi-family residential building at 1374-1376 20th Ave in the Central Sunset neighborhood, owned by Alex & Yelena Fisherman Rev, has undergone significant changes since its 1908 construction. Most notably, between 2018-2019, the building underwent a major legalization project for a previously unauthorized first-floor unit, which included comprehensive fire safety upgrades with the installation of 17 sprinklers and a new sprinkler monitoring system, all completed at a total cost exceeding $115,000. This unit legalization prompted multiple improvement works, including kitchen and bathroom updates, electrical upgrades for GFCI outlets and receptacles, and the resolution of several building code violations related to the unauthorized unit, such as unapproved wiring, plumbing, and lack of proper fire separation between units.

The building's recent history shows attention to safety and code compliance, with the sprinkler system modifications being particularly noteworthy in terms of fire safety improvements. Prior to these upgrades, the property had experienced some concerning issues, including complaints about a possible illegal unit with flooding and moisture problems in January 2018, and during construction in October 2018, there were safety concerns raised about unsecured debris removal. A series of 311 calls from 2018-2021 primarily related to street and sidewalk maintenance issues, though these were not directly related to the building's condition or safety. The property's records show systematic efforts to bring the building into compliance with current codes and regulations, particularly focusing on fire safety enhancements and unit legalization, with all recent permits marked as completed, suggesting successful resolution of previous violations related to unauthorized modifications and use.

Risk rating

How 1374-1376 20Th 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
21th percentile

Out of 814 buildings in this neighborhood, 643 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 49.6%
Moderate concern 37.0%
Severe concern 13.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
