Initial analysis

The property at 2384-2386 16th Ave in the Inner Parkside neighborhood is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1945, currently owned by Wong Ping Shek. The building has undergone several significant renovations over the past few years, with the most recent work completed in July 2024 involving comprehensive window upgrades including the installation of four new wood-cladded windows with checker lines, waterproof membrane improvements, and associated painting work, all valued at $8,000. Prior to this, in 2022, the second-floor bathroom underwent a $38,000 remodel, which was part of a larger kitchen and bathroom renovation project that included plumbing and electrical work. Historical maintenance records show earlier important improvements including a complete reroofing in 2002 and window replacements in 1997, as well as furnace replacements in 2009.

The property has experienced a number of parking-related issues in the vicinity, particularly between 2022 and 2025, with multiple citations issued for sidewalk parking violations, though some cases could not be validated. A missing side sewer vent cover issue was reported in September 2024 and remains open as of the current date. The building's recent maintenance history demonstrates regular upkeep by the owner, with the latest window improvements suggesting ongoing investment in the property's exterior maintenance and aesthetic upkeep.

Risk rating

How 2384-2386 16Th 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.

Neighborhood percentile
95th percentile

Out of 121 buildings in this neighborhood, 6 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 79.2%
Moderate concern 15.8%
Severe concern 4.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
