Initial analysis

The property at 1422-1424 25th Avenue in the Central Sunset neighborhood is a two-story, two-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1928, currently owned by Karen Lee Szeto. The building's maintenance history shows several significant improvements over the years, including a complete reroofing project completed in 2009 at a cost of $7,600, a major electrical upgrade in 2005 involving the installation of a new 200-amp service with two residential meters, and a horizontal extension with new wood stairway construction completed in 1987.

The property currently faces some maintenance concerns that are worth noting, particularly as they relate to resident comfort and access. In July 2024, there were reports of tree-related issues including an overgrown tree (status: Closed Cancelled) and a lifted sidewalk due to tree roots (status: Open accepted). There is also a history of pavement issues documented in 2014, with two separate incidents involving street defects that were ultimately resolved, including one case that noted a possible lateral line issue requiring repairs. The building has undergone regular maintenance checks as evidenced by various permits and completed work, though recent tree maintenance needs have been deferred to the city's scheduled maintenance plan under Prop-E guidelines.

Risk rating

How 1422-1424 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

Out of 814 buildings in this neighborhood, 456 are predicted to be safer.
