Initial analysis

The property at 1429-1431 14th Avenue is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1949 in the Inner Sunset neighborhood, currently owned by the John E Petrick Living Trust. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past few decades, with the most notable recent upgrade occurring in February 2020 when four ductless heat pump systems were installed, accompanied by electrical work for air conditioning mini-split systems and internal air handlers. In 2018, substantial exterior improvements were made with the construction of two decks at the rear of the building, one on the second floor and another on the third floor, with proper planning approval and within the allowable building area.

The property's maintenance history shows attention to basic infrastructure, including a complete reroofing project in 1993 and code compliance work in 1984. Housing inspections were conducted in 2000 and 2002, though no ongoing violations were noted. While there was one documented sewer issue in October 2021 involving a 4-inch sewer vent, this was resolved promptly. The building has experienced multiple reports of abandoned vehicles in the vicinity (2017-2021), but these are unrelated to the building's condition or management. The property's documented improvements suggest regular maintenance and upgrading of systems, though prospective tenants should be aware of the building's age and review any specific concerns directly with management.

Risk rating

How 1429-1431 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.
