Initial analysis

The two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 1414 Taraval Street in Parkside, owned by Anthony S Y & Olivia T Lee, was constructed in 1936 and has undergone several significant improvements over the years. The property has received consistent maintenance attention, with recent major upgrades including a gas forced air furnace replacement in 2022, window replacements in 2011, and an electrical service upgrade in 2005 that included converting to underground service and installing a 200-amp main service with five meters and sixteen circuits. Earlier maintenance work addressed various issues, such as reroofing in 2002 and repairs to rotted stairs in 2003.

The building has experienced several maintenance challenges over its history, notably in 2003 when multiple violations were recorded including issues with wood stairs, window frames, plumbing, and alleged rodent infestation, though all were abated by July 2003. More recent concerns include a water drainage issue that affected a storage room in 2020-2022 and periodic fire safety inspections showing extinguisher maintenance needs, with the most recent violation in June 2023 being corrected by August 2023. The property underwent significant plumbing and electrical system upgrades in the 2000s, including bathroom drainage improvements and utility service modernization. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to safety systems, though multiple fire extinguisher violations (2009, 2012, 2018, and 2023) were recorded, all of which were corrected promptly. Recent inspections and permits indicate ongoing maintenance and system upgrades, with the most recent work focusing on heating systems and fire safety equipment.

Risk rating

How 1414 Taraval St'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.
