Initial analysis

The property at 4400-4402 17th Street in Corona Heights is a 2-unit, 2-story mixed-use building with commercial space, constructed in 1909. The building's history reveals significant issues in 2011, when multiple violations were documented, including unauthorized construction, electrical wiring for a marijuana grow operation, and unpermitted installation of bathroom and kitchen facilities. These violations led to considerable remediation work, including the removal of unauthorized walls, wiring, and plumbing systems, with permits issued in 2011 costing approximately $25,000. The property underwent several improvements between 2008-2013, including dry rot repairs in the commercial portion, electrical panel upgrades, and various plumbing corrections.

More recent history shows the reestablishment of a grocery store with deli use (Corona Heights Market and Deli) in 2022, with proper permits obtained at minimal cost. Recent monitoring of the property through 311 calls in 2023-2025 has primarily involved maintenance issues such as graffiti removal and painting requests, with no recent building violations recorded. The property underwent substantial electrical and plumbing upgrades in 2010-2011, including the installation of a new 400A electrical panel and various plumbing system improvements. While the building faced significant compliance challenges in 2011, recent years show proper use and maintenance, with all known violations having been addressed and resolved by 2013.

Risk rating

How 4400-4402 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
32th percentile

Out of 348 buildings in this neighborhood, 237 are predicted to be safer.
