Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 1471 19th Avenue in San Francisco's Central Sunset neighborhood is a two-story TIC building constructed in 1957, currently owned by Tomas Robert & Belnap Grego. The property has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, with the most recent renovation being a bathroom remodel in Unit #3 completed in 2020 ($15,000), which included new lighting, plumbing fixtures, and electrical work. Prior improvements include a kitchen remodel in 2017 ($21,000) in Unit #3 that featured new cabinets, appliances, and electrical modifications, as well as a re-roofing project completed in 2014 ($6,000). The building has experienced some maintenance challenges in the past, particularly in 2001-2002, when multiple violations were recorded including issues with fire escape maintenance, mold in Unit #2's bathroom, and electrical system problems resulting in sparking and smoke. These violations were all abated by September 19, 2001. More recently, there have been several 311 calls regarding curb repairs and parking issues in front of the building throughout 2023, as well as construction-related noise complaints in June 2023. While there haven't been any recorded fire incidents in the past decade, there were two minor fire-related events recorded in adjacent properties in 2016 (weeds and grass complaint) and a carbon monoxide detector activation in 2021, neither resulting in civilian injuries. The building appears to have received regular maintenance and upgrading of its facilities over the years, with significant recent investments in apartment improvements and compliance with building codes. The most recent tenant buyout in the vicinity occurred at 1467 19th Avenue in January 2022, involving two tenants and totaling $25,000.

Risk rating

How 1471 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
22th percentile

Out of 814 buildings in this neighborhood, 635 are predicted to be safer.

Neighborhood location
