Initial analysis

The property at 1431-1433 17th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building built in 1925, currently owned by Quan Harvey H & Marcia. The building's maintenance history shows several significant improvements over the decades, including kitchen and bath remodeling in 1985, vinyl window installation in 1990, reroofing in 1994, and repair of dry-rotted stairs in 2011. However, there was a notable complaint filed in April 2018 regarding alleged unpermitted construction activities, specifically the installation of two kilns and other tenant improvements, though this complaint is currently listed as "Not Active."

The property and its vicinity have experienced various street maintenance and cleaning issues, particularly during 2009 when multiple reports of loose garbage were filed, along with other general cleaning requests. More recent activity includes a 2024 report of abandoned furniture and debris that was resolved by Recology. While the building's maintenance record shows attention to basic upkeep and improvements, the 2018 complaint about unpermitted modifications represents the only significant building-related concern in recent years. The property has undergone typical maintenance and upgrades expected for its age, with all documented permits showing proper completion or resolution, except for one expired permit from 1994.

Risk rating

How 1431-1433 17Th 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 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 1179 are predicted to be safer.

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.
