Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1558-1560 12th Avenue in the Inner Sunset, owned by Laura Mei Couchman Revoc Tr, was constructed in 1988 following the demolition of a single-family dwelling. The two-story flats and duplex structure has undergone several significant improvements over the years, most notably a substantial top-floor renovation in 2018 costing $50,000 that included kitchen and bathroom remodels, electrical upgrades with new lighting, and the installation of modern appliances and smoke detectors. In 2019, the building received exterior improvements with the application of hardy board on the north and east sides, covering approximately 2000 square feet at a cost of $20,000. A noise complaint was filed in August 2018 regarding early morning construction work, though this appears to be an isolated incident.

The property has experienced recurring issues with double parking, particularly between 2018-2021, with multiple reports logged through the 311 system, though these violations occurred on public streets and were addressed through usual enforcement channels. In 2021, there was a report of a damaged tree near the property that was resolved by the Department of Public Works. The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep and modernization efforts by the ownership, with no significant safety violations or persistent quality-of-life issues on record since the 2018 construction noise complaint was filed. The most recent parking-related incident was reported in December 2024, suggesting ongoing challenges with street parking in the area, though this is an external issue not directly related to the building's condition or management.

Risk rating

How 1558-1560 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

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 343 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 85.8%
Moderate concern 9.1%
Severe concern 5.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
