Initial analysis

The property at 1495-1499 15th Avenue is a well-maintained, 2-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood. Built in 1948 and currently held in trust by Susana M Scheiter, this 4-unit apartment building has undergone several significant renovations over the past decade. Most notably, the building has received multiple kitchen upgrades, with recent substantial work completed in 2021 ($14,000) and 2020 ($12,000) including new cabinets, countertops, and appliances, supported by corresponding electrical and plumbing improvements. A balcony repair addressing dry rot was completed in 2016, while the building's electrical system has seen consistent maintenance, including sub-panel installations in 2011 and 2021. The property's historical records show earlier improvements such as a complete reroofing in 1993.

In terms of maintenance history, the building experienced a set of fire safety violations in 2001 related to egress obstruction and combustible storage in garages, but these were promptly addressed and abated within two months. More recent concerns have primarily been related to street-level issues such as parking violations and sidewalk maintenance, with several 311 calls in 2022-2024 noting problems like blocked driveways and abandoned vehicles, though these are external to the building itself. The property has maintained active compliance with building codes and permits, with the most recent work demonstrating ongoing investment in maintaining and upgrading the building's infrastructure and amenities. The last major permit activity relates to substantial kitchen renovations in 2021, and there are no active violations or complaints on record as of October 2023.

Risk rating

How 1495-1499 15Th 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.
