Initial analysis

The property at 2370 17th Avenue in the Inner Parkside neighborhood is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1945, currently owned by Sandy D. Fong and May Dare Toy. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and infrastructure improvements over the past decades, including re-roofing projects in 1995 and 2018 (costing $6,800), street and sidewalk repairs (2013), and window replacements in both units (1997). A notable plumbing issue occurred in November 2013 involving the replacement of a broken sewer line from the driveway area to the house trap vent on the sidewalk.

The building's recent history shows a pattern of environmental and maintenance challenges in the surrounding area, particularly during 2022-2023, with multiple reports of street cleaning needs, including general cleaning (2022), loose garbage (2022), and hazardous materials such as glass (February 2023). The most recent incidents include a medical waste report (November 2023) and a general complaint (September 2023), though these were not specifically related to the building itself. In 2022, there was one documented sewage backup incident affecting the sewer vent system which was promptly addressed by PUC Sewer Operations. The fire incident record shows one service call, but no civilian injuries were reported. While the building appears to be properly maintained through regular updates and repairs, the surrounding area has experienced recurring street cleanliness issues that have required multiple interventions by city services.

Risk rating

How 2370 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.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 121 buildings in this neighborhood, 21 are predicted to be safer.
