Initial analysis

The three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 1500 12th Avenue in the Inner Sunset, owned by Monika Pietraszek, was built in 1954 and has undergone several significant improvements over the years. Most recently, in September 2023, Unit #5 received a kitchen remodel, which included plumbing and electrical updates, at a cost of $30,000. The building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2016 (Tier 3) at a cost of $100,000, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements. Other notable maintenance work includes repairs to dry rot in the back stairs (2013), a new electrical service installation with seven meter sockets (2014), and window replacements from wood to vinyl dual glazed sliders (1997). The building has maintained regular upkeep with two recent plumbing permits in 2024 for water heater replacements, and historical records show multiple roofing projects were completed in 1990 and 2007.

The property has experienced minimal serious issues, with only one paint-related housing complaint in 2011 that was promptly resolved. A fire alarm system activation in 2012 was determined to be unintentional with no injuries reported. Recent 311 calls primarily concern street-related matters, including pavement defects, illegal postings, and illegal parking, though these are municipal rather than building-specific issues. The building's maintenance record shows consistent attention to necessary repairs and upgrades, with most recent improvements focused on individual unit modernization and essential systems like electrical and plumbing. The property has maintained its multi-family classification as an apartment building with 5-14 units throughout its history.

Risk rating

How 1500 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
41th percentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 881 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building size

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

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 62.0%
Moderate concern 18.6%
Severe concern 19.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
