Initial analysis

The property at 1713-1715 Taraval Street in San Francisco's Parkside neighborhood is a two-story multi-family residential building with 3 units, constructed in 1944, and includes a commercial space. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past few years. Most notably, in 2022 there was a serious plumbing issue affecting all floors, including the ground-floor restaurant, and in 2020 there were concerns about non-compliant hood and duct systems in the restaurant. The building also had two fire safety incidents requiring correction of blocked exits (July 2022) and refused hood service (August 2020). Building maintenance history shows various structural repairs, including stair repairs in 2003 and framing repairs in 1984, indicating ongoing attention to building upkeep. Recent records from 2023-2024 show multiple environmental health and general cleaning issues, including waste management concerns, though these appear to be external to the building itself. The property underwent a tenant buyout of 1 unit in May 2023 for $3,100, and historical records show previous restaurant-related permits and approvals for expansion and change of ownership. Infrastructure improvements include a 150-amp underground electrical installation in 2006 and plumbing upgrades in 2012.

Risk rating

How 1713-1715 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.
