Initial analysis

The 6-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 1800 23rd Ave in the Central Sunset neighborhood, owned by Gioacchino & Gilda B Cardin, has undergone significant renovations and improvements since its construction in 1954. Most notably, between 2012-2016, the property underwent extensive kitchen renovations in multiple units (Units 1, 2, 3, and 4), including cabinet replacements, countertop upgrades, and modern appliance installations, with associated electrical and plumbing work completed professionally. The building received window upgrades in 2021 with the retrofit installation of 13 new energy-efficient aluminum windows. Major building maintenance work includes a 2007 reroofing project and termite damage repairs completed in 1990. The commercial space underwent conversion from retail to a hair salon in 2001, with proper tenant improvements.

Recent activity from late 2024 shows multiple 311 calls related to street cleaning and parking issues, though these are primarily external to the building itself. The property has had minimal building complaints, with only routine inspections recorded in 2001 and 2011, both of which were promptly resolved. While there have been several fire alarm incidents recorded, they were all false alarms or system malfunctions with no civilian injuries reported. The building's maintenance and improvement history shows regular upkeep and modernization of facilities, with no significant safety or habitability issues on record. The most recent building improvement, completed in 2021, demonstrates ongoing investment in property maintenance and upgrading building systems.

Risk rating

How 1800 23Rd 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.
