Initial analysis

The property at 1366 La Playa is a two-unit, one-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Outer Sunset neighborhood, owned by Gina Maekawa and constructed in 1955. The building has undergone several significant improvements and maintenance work over the years. Most recently, in 2020, there was a kitchen and bathroom remodeling project, though the permit shows no associated cost. Prior to that, in 2019, a sewer repair was completed. Two major renovation attempts were documented in 2005: one for emergency repairs to address dry rot damage to the rear deck and stairs ($3,600) and another ambitious proposal to add a third story, convert the two existing units into three, and add parking spaces, which was ultimately cancelled. The building's maintenance history includes completed reroofing work in 2005 ($6,420) and a bathroom skylight replacement from 1995 (permit expired).

Recent activity around the property has primarily involved parking enforcement and street maintenance issues. Between May 2024 and January 2025, there were multiple calls regarding abandoned vehicles, parking violations, and garbage/debris concerns in the vicinity of the property, though most of these cases were resolved without direct enforcement action or intervention. Two fire-related incidents have been recorded at the address: a carbon monoxide detector activation (with no CO found) and a cooking fire confined to a container, both with no civilian injuries reported. The building's most substantial proposed modification—adding a third floor and additional unit—was proposed in 2005 but never proceeded, and the property remains listed as a two-unit dwelling.

Risk rating

How 1366 La Playa'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 632 buildings in this neighborhood, 341 are predicted to be safer.
