Initial analysis

The two-unit, one-story multi-family residential building located at 1406 16th Avenue in the Inner Sunset neighborhood was constructed in 1941 and is currently owned by Edward C Sins. The building's recorded history spans several years, with the most recent incident occurring in July 2023 involving a damaged metal curb that was promptly repaired by the Department of Public Works. This marked the third curb-related issue at the property, following similar problems in 2015 when a broken sidewalk with exposed metal required street repair notice, and in 2007 when unauthorized work was attempted to address peeling paint. A separate incident in January 2019 involved loose garbage that required general street cleaning, though this was not directly related to the building's condition. While the property has experienced recurring issues with its curb and sidewalk infrastructure over the years, these have generally been addressed through proper city channels and resolved in a timely manner. The limited number of complaints and incidents on record, particularly those occurring in recent years, suggests manageable property maintenance with attention to resolving infrastructure issues as they arise.

Risk rating

How 1406 16Th 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
