Initial analysis

Located in San Francisco's Central Sunset neighborhood, 1423-1425 19th Avenue is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1924, currently owned by Joseph & Mellisa Pon. The property has undergone several maintenance and repair works over the years, including a street space permit in 2017, a wall rebuild to restore legal room configurations in 2003, and a reroofing project in 2002, with costs ranging from $1 to $4,400. The building experienced significant challenges in 2001-2003, including multiple fire safety violations regarding garbage storage, combustible materials in the garage, and wood stairs repairs, all of which were abated by August 2001. During 2003, there were several housing complaints regarding unauthorized conversions of living spaces, including attempts to subdivide rooms into separate bedrooms and create a rooming house without proper permits. These issues prompted multiple correction notices, including requirements for fire extinguishers and security light repairs.

The property's most recent record activity shows various 311 calls between 2022 and 2024, primarily related to street cleaning and hazardous materials on the sidewalk, with three separate glass-related incidents reported in August 2022. There have been multiple parking enforcement requests regarding sidewalk parking violations in 2022, specifically involving a Toyota Corolla, though officers were unable to locate the vehicles in each instance. Three abandoned vehicle complaints were filed in 2023-2024, with one from August 2023 being investigated thoroughly and found to have no merit. While the building's history shows periods of concern regarding unauthorized modifications and safety compliance, more recent records indicate primarily external maintenance and neighborhood issues rather than internal building violations or complaints.

Risk rating

How 1423-1425 19Th 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
21th percentile

Out of 814 buildings in this neighborhood, 643 are predicted to be safer.
