Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1723-1725 7th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood, currently under the ownership of the Cheatham Daryl Thomas Estate, was constructed in 1948 as a two-story flats and duplex structure. The property has a documented history of maintenance and complaint issues, with the most pressing concerns arising recently in April 2024 when multiple complaints were filed regarding water damage allegedly caused by problems related to a broken water heater. Before these recent issues, the building's maintenance record shows some attention to infrastructure, including a reroofing project in 1999 and window replacements with double-pane units in 1989, though both these permits have since expired.

The property has experienced various other maintenance and safety-related incidents over the years, including two fire safety complaints in September 2017 regarding combustible materials and overgrown vegetation, though these were addressed promptly. Environmental infrastructure issues have been noted, such as a missing side sewer vent cover in December 2021 that was subsequently resolved. The building's surroundings have experienced typical urban issues like street parking concerns, with a resolved complaint about sidewalk parking in March 2023, and street lighting maintenance was performed in May 2020 when a burnt-out light was replaced. While some of these issues may affect resident comfort, it's important to note that many are routine urban infrastructure matters rather than building-specific problems.

Risk rating

How 1723-1725 7Th 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.
