Initial analysis

The property at 1482 17th Avenue in the Inner Sunset district is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1976, currently owned by the Paul & Peggy Chew Family Revocable Trust. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past decades, most notably a comprehensive window and door upgrade in 2021 that included replacing 17 windows and a patio door, with a total renovation cost of approximately $42,000. Other major maintenance work includes two complete roofing projects (1997 and 2016, costing $8,700), and in 2000, the construction of reinforced concrete retaining walls to replace existing dry-rotted structures (costing $8,000).

The property's recent history shows limited issues impacting resident experience, though there is currently an open case from November 2024 regarding excessive noise. Previous incidents includes a resolved parking enforcement issue in 2021, a ground sign placement matter in 2012, and a hazardous materials cleanup (glass) incident on the street/sidewalk in 2011, all of which were properly addressed by the relevant authorities. The building's maintenance record suggests regular upkeep by the owners, with no documented violations or planning code complaints.

Risk rating

How 1482 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

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 75 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 86.7%
Moderate concern 10.1%
Severe concern 3.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
