Initial analysis

This two-unit residential building, located at 2309 15th Street in Corona Heights, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1927, currently owned by Bensinger Tr. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most recent being a major electrical upgrade in 2016 that included the installation of a two-meter system with 200-amp service split between the two units. Previous renovations included a complete reroofing project in 2007 costing $10,670, and a vinyl siding installation with room extension in 1991. A building complaint was filed in September 2015 regarding peeling paint, though this issue is currently listed as not active.

The property has experienced recurring issues with parking and waste management in recent years. Between March 1-2, 2023, there were multiple reports of driveway blockage by a black Toyota Venza, resulting in at least one citation being issued. More recently, in September-October 2024, there were three separate incidents involving litter receptacle maintenance issues, including toters being left out continuously and reports of garbage and debris. There were also three reports of abandoned vehicles in July 2022, all of which were resolved when officers arrived to find the vehicles gone. While these service requests and enforcement actions indicate some ongoing maintenance and parking challenges in the vicinity, the building itself shows a history of proper maintenance through documented improvements and repairs.

Risk rating

How 2309 15Th 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.

Neighborhood percentile
