Initial analysis

The 5-unit multi-family residential building at 1600 25th Avenue in the Central Sunset neighborhood, owned by George N & Lina G Nazzal Re, is a 3-story structure built in 1949. The building's maintenance record shows a concerning number of infrastructure issues in recent months, with multiple open cases from late 2024 through early 2025, including a collapsed sidewalk, a sewage backup, curb defects, and pavement issues. There have also been problems with garbage and debris management, with cases reported in December 2024 that were still in progress or recently resolved. The building had a notable fire safety violation related to a missing fire escape drop ladder in April 2002, though this was quickly abated the same day.

Historical records show some efforts to bring the building up to code in 1984, and there were routine inspections conducted by Housing Inspection Services in 2001 and 2002, suggesting some level of regulatory oversight. Recent tenant buyouts in the neighborhood include one for $57,400 involving three tenants in February 2017 at 1627 24th Avenue, and a smaller buyout for $15,000 involving two tenants in July 2023 at 1658 25th Avenue, though these are at adjacent addresses and not directly related to this property. The building's current condition as evidenced by numerous recent complaints suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly in relation to building infrastructure and surrounding public space management.

Risk rating

How 1600 25Th 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
