Initial analysis

The property at 1421-1423 14th Avenue is a two-unit residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood. Built in 1930, this two-story flats and duplex structure has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most recent major infrastructure upgrades occurring between 2017-2020. These include electrical system improvements with the installation of new 175amp service and three meters in 2017, followed by a sewer line repair in May 2020. The building has received regular maintenance attention, including a roof replacement in 2015 (cost: $12,000), stair exit replacement in 2002, and aluminum window upgrades in 1985.

The property has experienced some plumbing system challenges, most notably a sewage backup incident in July 2024 from the side sewer vent, though this was reported as functioning properly afterward. While there have been multiple reports of abandoned vehicles in the vicinity between 2021-2024, these are external to the building itself and largely centered on street parking issues. The property has undergone routine maintenance and upgrading of its systems, with no major safety concerns or building code violations on record. The owner's commitment to regular maintenance is demonstrated through consistent updating of essential building systems, including roofing, electrical, and plumbing infrastructure.

Risk rating

How 1421-1423 14Th 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.
