Initial analysis

The 2-unit residential property at 1330 27th Avenue in San Francisco's Central Sunset neighborhood, owned by Ronald & Betty Ho (1998 Livi), is a 3-story multi-family building constructed in 1982. The building's maintenance record shows only one significant infrastructure upgrade, the replacement of a gas furnace in the garage level completed in November 2010. In recent months, there has been a concerning pattern of driveway access issues, with eight documented incidents of blocked driveways between November 2023 and October 2024, resulting in citations being issued in most cases, though some vehicles were unable to be located by responding officers. Additionally, there was an unresolved sewage discharge incident from a catch basin in July 2024, and reports of abandoned vehicles and general street cleaning issues in 2023-2024. The property has experienced one recorded fire incident, which was a false alarm with no civilian injuries reported. While the majority of complaints have been resolved through official interventions, the recurring nature of parking violations and the recent sewer issue may impact resident quality of life.

Risk rating

How 1330 27Th 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

Out of 814 buildings in this neighborhood, 293 are predicted to be safer.
