Initial analysis

The 4-unit multi-family residential building at 1646 19th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood, managed by the Etchelet Revoc Trust, was constructed in 1957 and has undergone various maintenance and compliance updates over the years. Most recently, in 2015, there was a gas water heater replacement, and in 2008, unit #4 received window upgrades with vinyl replacements. The building has faced several safety and maintenance challenges, particularly between 2000-2017, including multiple fire safety violations related to smoke enclosure doors, egress obstructions, combustible storage, and gas utility shutoff requirements. These issues were primarily addressed by April 2000, with some recurring concerns about hoarding and excessive clutter noted in 2015 and 2017. The property underwent routine safety inspections in 2000, 2002, and 2011, during which various compliance issues were identified and resolved.

More recent history shows ongoing attention to building maintenance, though some systemic issues remain apparent. There have been multiple reports of parking and sidewalk maintenance needs in the vicinity, with several 311 calls in 2023 related to pavement defects and general cleaning. The building's fire safety history includes several notable events, including complaints about blocked exits and hoarding in 2015, 2017, and 2020, though these were generally addressed by the Fire Department as "Condition Corrected." Historical plumbing and roofing work has been documented, with permits issued in 1990 for aluminum window installation and in the 1990s for roof work, though these permits have since expired. While many historical violations have been resolved, the pattern of recurring safety inspection issues suggests ongoing maintenance and monitoring needs. The most recent building permit activity recorded dates back to 2015, with no major structural modifications or system upgrades noted in recent years, though regular maintenance requirements would continue to apply.

Risk rating

How 1646 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.
