Initial analysis

The William Tom Trust-owned two-unit residential building at 1467-1469 17th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1939. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep and improvements, with significant work done in the early 2000s when termite and fungus inspections were conducted, and repairs performed. Earlier improvements include substantial exterior work in 1993 with repairs to the stucco facade, window upgrades in the 1980s with the installation of insulated aluminum windows, and attempts at interior modifications in 1996 for adding a study room and half bathroom, though this permit expired. More recent mechanical work includes an incomplete electrical permit from 2011 for adding circuits and a switch for a new gas furnace in the basement.

The property has experienced recurring issues with parking enforcement, particularly in 2019 and 2022, with several documented cases of driveway blocking, resulting in citations for some vehicles. Two streetlight maintenance issues were reported and resolved in 2022, including a burnt-out light that was promptly repaired. The building's immediate surroundings have required occasional general cleaning through the Department of Public Works, with reports in 2011 and 2015 regarding loose garbage, though these were relatively minor maintenance issues. The property's maintenance record suggests regular upkeep of the building itself, with attention to both structural and electrical systems over the years, though some permits from the 1990s were not completed as intended.

Risk rating

How 1467-1469 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
