Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1394-1396 23rd Avenue in the Central Sunset neighborhood has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects since its construction in 1946. Most notably, the property received a substantial electrical upgrade in 2017, when the service was improved to 200A with two meters, representing a significant modernization of the building's infrastructure. Earlier maintenance work included a major dry rot repair project in 2002, which addressed specific issues identified in report #1898, while records show an earlier reroofing project from 1998, though that permit is now expired.

The most recent events of concern primarily relate to waste management issues in the vicinity of the property, with multiple reports of garbage and debris problems documented between October 2024 and January 2025. During this period, there were seven separate incidents involving overflowing city garbage cans, and three incidents involving abandoned or improperly disposed of garbage. While these sanitation issues are not directly related to the building's internal conditions, they may impact the general environment around the property. Additionally, there were two unrelated service calls to city agencies - one regarding a safety-related Muni service feedback and another regarding an abandoned vehicle that was not present upon arrival of enforcement personnel. The building's historical maintenance record shows attention to critical infrastructure improvements, though the frequency of recent sanitation-related complaints suggests increased attention to waste management in the surrounding area may be warranted.

Risk rating

How 1394-1396 23Rd 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
60th percentile

Out of 814 buildings in this neighborhood, 326 are predicted to be safer.
