Initial analysis

The property at 1400-1402 17th Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood. Built in 1941 and classified as a Flats & Duplex building, it is currently owned by the Jn Hishmeh Residual Trust. The most significant recent infrastructure work was completed in June 2023, when the property underwent a trenchless sewer replacement to address issues with a damaged clay sewer line, marking an important maintenance upgrade for the building's plumbing system.

The building's maintenance and incident record from 2023-2025 shows several environmental and infrastructure management issues, though none appear to be particularly severe. These include two instances of tree maintenance required for hanging limbs (October 2023), reports of loose garbage and debris (October 2023 and July 2024), and one instance of graffiti (November 2023). The property has experienced multiple municipal transportation agency interactions in early 2025, with three general requests and one traffic calming issue, though these appear to be primarily related to street management rather than direct building concerns. The majority of these service calls have been resolved or closed, indicating responsive handling of maintenance and environmental issues. Despite these various incidents being documented through 311 calls, there are no recorded tenant buyouts for either unit on file.

Risk rating

How 1400-1402 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
