Initial analysis

This two-unit residential building, located at 1435 25th Avenue in the Central Sunset neighborhood, was constructed in 1925 and is currently owned by Chew Kwok. The property underwent a significant renovation in 2016, valued at $100,000, which included extensive updates to both units featuring kitchen and bathroom remodels, bedroom relocations, additional bathroom installations, and system upgrades including new water heaters and furnaces. The electrical system received a complete rewiring during this renovation, installing numerous new fixtures and six smoke detectors in each unit for enhanced safety. Both units had their furnaces replaced in early 2017, following a $7,000 reroofing project in late 2017.

The building's recent history, particularly in 2024-2025, shows an unusual pattern of issues primarily related to street and parking matters, with multiple citations issued for blocking driveways and parking violations, including four instances of driveway blocking between September and November 2024, and one incident of sidewalk parking. Additionally, there were several reports of abandoned furniture and debris outside the property in January 2025, which required intervention from city services to address. While these recent issues appear to be primarily external and relate to parking enforcement rather than building conditions, they may indicate some challenges with property management or resident behavior in recent months.

Risk rating

How 1435 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.

Neighborhood percentile
42th percentile

Out of 814 buildings in this neighborhood, 472 are predicted to be safer.
