Initial analysis

The property at 1394-1396 33rd Avenue in the Central Sunset neighborhood is a two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1948, containing three units plus a retail space, owned by Paul & Wanda Wong Yee since 1998. The building's maintenance record shows limited major work, with only one building permit on file from 1994 for reroofing, which has since expired.

The location has experienced recurring maintenance and cleanliness issues over the past few years, with the most recent incidents in February 2023 involving multiple reports of loose garbage requiring street and sidewalk cleaning. Between 2020 and 2022, there were several documented cases of graffiti on nearby structures, including offensive markings on the sidewalk (most notably in September 2022 and February 2021), all of which were addressed and resolved by city services. The property has also experienced occasional street management issues, including a case of garbage receptacles being left out continuously (February 2022, resolved through outreach and enforcement) and a driveway blocking incident (March 2021, resulting in a citation). While these maintenance issues have been consistently addressed by city services, their recurring nature suggests ongoing challenges with property and street upkeep in the immediate vicinity.

Risk rating

How 1394-1396 33Rd 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.
