Initial analysis

The property at 1574-1576 12th Avenue in the Inner Sunset is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1975 and currently owned by the Chan Luu Family Trust. The building's maintenance record shows several significant events, most notably a fiber cement siding installation on the right side of the house in 2015, which cost approximately $6,578. Earlier modifications included stairway repairs from the basement to the yard in 1992 (completed) and an attempted horizontal addition in 1991 (expired), along with the removal of illegal plumbing fixtures and appliances in 1988 (cancelled).

Recent property management issues have primarily revolved around waste management, with multiple complaints in 2022-2023 regarding garbage toters being left out continuously, though enforcement actions seem to have resolved these cases. There have also been several street cleaning and maintenance calls, including one for an overflowing city garbage can in July 2022 and three toter-related complaints in April/June 2022 that required inspections. The building's more recent history appears relatively uneventful in terms of significant structural changes or safety incidents, with a single fire complaint in June 2015 that was determined to have "No Merit," and a 730 system malfunction with no civilian injuries recorded.

Risk rating

How 1574-1576 12Th 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
67th percentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 493 are predicted to be safer.
