Initial analysis

The property at 1406-1408 17th Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in the Inner Sunset neighborhood, owned by the Jn Hishmeh Residual Trust, and constructed in 1941. The building's maintenance record shows some infrastructure improvements, most notably a sewer lateral replacement from the garage to the curb completed in January 2022. In 2008, two permits were issued for street space and sidewalk work, though the minimal cost listed ($1.00) raises questions about the nature of these permits.

The property's recent history (2020-2023) has been marked by numerous reports of abandoned vehicles in the immediate area, with seven such incidents recorded between August 2020 and November 2023, though all were resolved with vehicles either gone upon inspection or determined to be improperly reported. Other notable incidents include an overgrown street tree reported in March 2022 (which was placed on a maintenance schedule by the city), and a pavement defect reported in August 2020, both of which were subsequently resolved. Two additional cases from 2021-2022 relate to illegal postings and a general service request, both of which were also resolved. While the building itself appears to be maintained with proper permits for infrastructure work, the surrounding area has experienced recurring issues with abandoned vehicles and street maintenance matters.

Risk rating

How 1406-1408 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
97th percentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 45 are predicted to be safer.
