Initial analysis

The 6-unit multi-family residential building at 4100 17th Street in Corona Heights, owned by Jimmy & Eri Panagiotopoulos, was constructed in 1974 and is classified as a 2-story apartment building. The property has undergone several significant improvements, including a completed soft-story seismic upgrade in 2017 at a cost of $18,000, which was required by local building codes. Historical records show two routine apartment inspections in 1999 and 2009, with the latter inspection revealing a fire safety violation related to fire extinguisher maintenance that was subsequently corrected.

The building has experienced recurring issues with its alarm system, with multiple violations between 2015 and 2023, though most were promptly corrected. Notably, there is an open violation as of November 2023 regarding sleeping area requirements. The property has documented three minor fire incidents over the years, all related to steam or smoke, none resulting in civilian injuries. Recent history (2023-2024) shows several maintenance issues outside the building's direct control, including graffiti and garbage accumulation on public sidewalks, though these have generally been resolved promptly by city services. The building's maintenance record shows attention to water damage issues from 1999, while the completed soft-story retrofit demonstrates compliance with seismic safety requirements, though monthly supplemental inspections for compliance with housing codes and safety standards are still necessary.

Risk rating

How 4100 17Th 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
23th percentile

Out of 348 buildings in this neighborhood, 268 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 53.4%
Moderate concern 14.0%
Severe concern 32.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
