Initial analysis

The 1446-1448 19th Avenue property is a 4-story, 2-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood, built in 2001. The building's development history includes the demolition of a previous 3-story single-family dwelling in 1998, followed by the successful construction of the current structure valued at $350,000. During construction, a fire sprinkler system was installed per NFPA 13 requirements. The property had a religious use component, with records showing attempts in the early 1990s to establish a Buddhist temple in the garage space, which was ultimately approved.

Recent maintenance and safety issues include a sewage backup incident in February 2021 and multiple reports of driveway blocking incidents between 2022-2024, though these were primarily parking enforcement matters. In mid-2020, the building experienced several infrastructure-related issues including a missing side sewer vent cover, a lifted sidewalk adjacent to SFPUC water utility vaults, and graffiti, all of which were subsequently resolved. The most recent building-related service call was for abandoned furniture in June 2024. The building's history also shows exterior maintenance work dating back to the 1980s, including window installation and kitchen/bathroom remodeling.

Risk rating

How 1446-1448 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

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 15 are predicted to be safer.
