Initial analysis

This 2-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood was constructed in 1925 and is currently owned by the Hagedorn Ellinor 1996 Revocable Trust. The property has undergone numerous improvements over the years, with the most recent significant renovations occurring in 2015, including a master bathroom remodel in the upper unit ($23,000), window replacements, and sewer line repairs. Earlier major work includes a substantial bathroom and kitchen remodeling project in 2010 ($55,000) that also addressed dryrot repairs, and electrical system improvements including main service replacement for safety concerns. The building has seen consistent maintenance and upgrades, including multiple window replacements (2005-2015), a rear deck addition (2007), and electrical system modernization efforts such as the elimination of small sub-panels (2013).

Recent activity around the property (late 2024-early 2025) has primarily involved street-related issues, with multiple reports of garbage and debris on the sidewalk, though these were generally resolved promptly. There are currently some open cases regarding mechanical equipment noise and a blocked sidewalk that warrant attention. The building's maintenance history shows regular updates to plumbing and electrical systems, including the installation of a tankless water heater (2009) and a complete electrical system overhaul. Planning records indicate proper permits and approvals have been obtained for most major works, and there are no active Planning Code enforcement cases on file. The property's history shows responsible ownership with ongoing maintenance and improvements, though recent street cleanliness issues suggest occasional concerns with neighborhood upkeep.

Risk rating

How 1800 17Th 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.
