Initial analysis

The 3-unit multi-family residential building at 1914-1918 Taraval St, owned by the Lewin Family Trust, was constructed in 1955 and is classified as a Flat & Store 4 units or less. Over its history, the property has undergone several significant improvements, including a complete reroofing project in 2008 costing $4,500, and an important electrical upgrade converting to underground service with 150A and 3 meters in 2005. Of particular note is a substantial dry rot and termite repair project completed in 2000, valued at $22,650, and a subsequent violation for unpermitted remodeling of the retail space that was abated in early 2001. The building has retained its mixed-use character, transitioning from a beauty shop to a real estate office in 2000, and the storefront has received various maintenance updates including an awning installation in 2001.

Recent maintenance activities have primarily focused on exterior upkeep, with multiple landscaping and tree maintenance issues reported in 2024, though most recent complaints have been related to urban sanitation concerns such as waste removal (2023-2024) rather than building-specific issues. The property had some historical maintenance challenges, including deck and staircase repairs in 1994 and aluminum window installation in 1990, though these permits have since expired. The building has experienced minimal major incidents, with only one recorded cooking-related fire incident that was contained with no civilian injuries. While the property has seen periodic graffiti issues (notably in 2016), these have been addressed promptly through city services, and other external issues such as sidewalk defects in 2021 were investigated and found to have no current threat to safety.

Risk rating

How 1914-1918 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.
