Initial analysis

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 1351 25th Ave, owned by the Jennie Chin Revocable Trust, was constructed in 1960 in the Central Sunset neighborhood. The building's maintenance history reveals several significant events, most notably a cluster of fire safety violations in 2002 that required multiple follow-up inspections and included issues with fire escape ladders, smoke enclosure doors, gas utility shutoff tools, and fire extinguisher maintenance, all of which were resolved by February 2003. More recently, in March 2024, a mold issue with possible leakage was reported and subsequently addressed by April 2024. The building has undergone several inspections over the years, with a routine inspection in 2001 and a concerning complaint in 1998 regarding bathroom tiles, shower wall condition, hallway lighting, and soft bathroom floor framing, all of which were resolved by early 1999.

The property has maintained a relatively low profile in terms of serious violations or complaints in recent years. It has only one active permit on record from 2014 for street space use, while previous permits from 1990 (aluminum windows) and 1984 represent older, now-expired work. While there were numerous parking enforcement calls in 2019 regarding blocked driveways, these are external issues related to street parking and do not directly impact the building's condition or safety. The most recent building-related concerns have been promptly addressed, suggesting improved maintenance responsiveness compared to the early 2000s.

Risk rating

How 1351 25Th 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.
