Initial analysis

The 5-unit multi-family residential building at 1567 19th Ave in the Central Sunset neighborhood, owned by Wong Suey May & Patrick Fam, was constructed in 1949 and is classified as a 1-story apartment building. The property has undergone several significant renovations and improvements over the years, with the most substantial recent work completed in 2018 involving a comprehensive remodel of Unit #3's kitchen and bathroom, including associated plumbing and electrical work, at a cost of $36,800. Earlier improvements include window replacements in 1994, reroofing in 1989, and kitchen updates in Unit #4 in 1988.

The building has maintained compliance with regular housing inspections, though there have been some concerning incidents. In 1999, there was a significant complaint regarding carbon monoxide gas contamination in one unit, which was addressed. Two fire-related violations were recorded in 2001 requiring fire extinguisher recharges, and during 2010, there were issues with blocked exits that were reportedly corrected. The building has experienced recurring issues with parking violations in the vicinity, particularly between 2019 and 2023, with multiple citations issued for vehicles blocking driveways and parking on sidewalks, suggesting ongoing challenges with street parking and access to the property. While there have been several routine inspections of common areas over the years (1999, 2001, and 2011), none of these inspections appear to have resulted in any ongoing violations or safety concerns.

Risk rating

How 1567 19Th 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
