Initial analysis

The property at 4128-4132 17th Street in Corona Heights is a two-story, multi-family residential building constructed in 1904, containing two dwellings on one parcel. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade, most notably in 2023 when electrical upgrades were completed with the installation of dual meters and a 200-amp main panel for both 4128 and 4130/4132 properties. In 2018, a tankless water heater was installed, and previous work included foundation repairs to the rear building in 2016 (approximately 42 linear feet) and dry rot repairs in 2016 (15 feet of wall).

The property has experienced various maintenance issues and code violations, particularly in 2017 when multiple violations were recorded related to lead paint hazards, requiring surface repairs and proper documentation of safety systems. Additional complaints from this period included concerns about unpermitted plumbing work, unauthorized bathroom remodeling, and problems with egress requirements. The property has a history of maintenance and repair work, including window replacements in 2012 (18 total windows) and deck repairs in multiple years (most recently in 2018). Several complaints about construction noise and work being performed without proper permits have been recorded over the years, with the most recent electrical upgrade and water heater installation being properly permitted and completed. A historical planning record notes unauthorized additions made to the rear of the building, though this issue appears to be closed/abated.

Risk rating

How 4128-4132 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
