Initial analysis

The property at 1430-1432 14th Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1925, currently owned by the Sandra Chu Trust U D T. The building has undergone several significant renovations and improvements since 2005, including substantial interior work in both units, with permits showing kitchen remodels, bathroom additions, and living room updates. Specific improvements included the installation of a condensing boiler system with radiant PEX piping in 2019, electrical system upgrades with new panels and circuits in 2006, and various interior modifications such as adding a work area and game room, though many of these permits eventually expired and required renewal or re-issuance for final inspections.

More recent building concerns have centered around external factors, with the most recent incidents including a resolved issue with street debris (electronics) in September 2024 and a tree maintenance matter in August 2023, where a street tree was reported to be affecting the building's window or structure. The city's response indicated that while there was no immediate safety concern, the tree would be addressed as part of the city's scheduled maintenance program. An abandoned vehicle complaint from 2010 was resolved when the vehicle left the area before inspection. The building's permit history suggests a pattern of work requiring multiple follow-ups and renewals, particularly during the 2005-2007 period, though most major systems (plumbing, electrical, and structural) appear to have been addressed with appropriate permits.

Risk rating

How 1430-1432 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.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 642 are predicted to be safer.
