Initial analysis

The property at 1409 28th Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Central Sunset neighborhood. Built in 1947 and currently owned by Cindy Lee, this flats/duplex structure has undergone several significant maintenance activities over its lifetime. Most notably, in April 2022, a $6,000 reroofing project was permitted, representing one of the more recent major maintenance efforts. The building had documented termite issues in late 1991, with repairs completed in December of that year, though there are no more recent pest control records to indicate ongoing problems.

The property has experienced recurring street-level maintenance issues in the immediate vicinity, particularly relating to loose garbage and debris. Between 2021 and 2024, there have been multiple incidents requiring general cleaning, with the most recent occurring in October 2023. Additionally, there was a furniture-related debris issue reported in August 2024. While these exterior maintenance concerns have been consistently addressed, they primarily affect the public space around the building rather than the structure itself. There have also been various infrastructure maintenance matters in the surrounding area, including a damaged tree (resolved in 2019), a flickering streetlight (repaired in 2011), and an abandoned vehicle report (resolved in 2010). A parking enforcement action was taken in July 2024 for illegal parking in the area, and there was one general service request to Public Works in November 2021 that required no action.

Risk rating

How 1409 28Th 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
79th percentile

Out of 814 buildings in this neighborhood, 171 are predicted to be safer.
