Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1671 11th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Sunset district, owned by Han Xiao Liang & Xiong Xiao, was originally constructed in 1947 and underwent significant vertical expansion in 2006 with a completed third-floor addition valued at $258,000. The property has experienced various maintenance and compliance issues over the years, most notably a serious situation in 2018 involving a deteriorated and leaning retaining wall at the south property line that warranted multiple Notices of Violation and monitoring requirements, though this issue is no longer active. The building has seen substantial modernization efforts, including recent rooftop work in September 2023 costing $23,000, and comprehensive electrical, plumbing, and HVAC upgrades in 2010 that included extensive installations throughout all floors. Multiple inspections and complaints during 2010-2019 periods indicate some concerns about construction practices, debris management, and compliance with permit scopes, though these issues were generally resolved promptly.

Recent building maintenance activity includes the September 2023 re-roofing project, while recent municipal service calls from 2018-2024 have primarily concerned street and sidewalk matters, including a pavement defect in 2024 and various utility maintenance issues. The building's major systems have been progressively updated, including a 150-amp electrical service upgrade completed in 2005, installation of new furnaces in 2010, and comprehensive plumbing improvements. Historical planning records show the vertical addition project was subject to appeal and various conditions, ultimately being approved with specific requirements for set-back and facade alterations. The property's maintenance history shows regular attention to building systems and infrastructure, with recent records suggesting ongoing commitment to maintaining building safety and compliance standards.

Risk rating

How 1671 11Th 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.
