Initial analysis

This 1923 two-unit residential building, located in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood, has undergone significant recent renovations and faced some regulatory challenges. Most notably, in early 2024, the property underwent extensive work including drywall installation, bathroom remodeling, furnace replacement, water heater installation, and complete rewiring of the unit. However, during these renovations, multiple building violations were issued in March 2024 concerning unsafe work practices, inadequate weather protection, exterior cleanup standards, and ground protection requirements. These violations, filed under complaint number 202420904, were officially abated by April 11, 2024. The work also generated two complaints regarding improper lead paint handling and dust containment, though these violations were subsequently resolved.

The building's maintenance history includes earlier improvements such as reroofing work in both 1990 and 2006, and a significant ground floor addition in 1999-2000. An infrastructure improvement project in 2024 incorporated modern updates including new electrical wiring throughout the unit and necessary plumbing modifications. The property has also experienced recurring issues with parking enforcement, with multiple documented cases of vehicles blocking driveways between 2018 and 2024. While recent renovations resulted in some regulatory scrutiny, the building has received substantial modernization improvements, including electrical system upgrades and structural maintenance, though residents should note the property's history of parking enforcement issues in the immediate vicinity.

Risk rating

How 1426-1428 7Th 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.
