Initial analysis

The duplex property at 4081-4083 17th Street, located in Corona Heights, is a two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1915 and currently owned by Marti A & Karen S Macinnes. The building underwent significant renovations in 2005, including a $60,000 kitchen renovation, electrical rewiring of the second story, installation of central forced air gas heating in the upper unit, and re-roofing. Historical records show the property had plans for horizontal deck construction in 1994, though this permit expired. More recent developments have raised some concerns, particularly during early 2025, when there were multiple reports of water leaks (into both public and private property areas) and several 311 calls regarding garbage and debris in the vicinity. The property also experienced issues with encampments and street cleaning in late 2024 and early 2025, though these appear to be primarily related to public space rather than direct building concerns.

The building's permitted modifications included an approved exception to rear yard requirements for the demolition and reconstruction of existing rear stairs and porch structures, as well as the enlargement of lower level deck and construction of a new upper level deck. A fire incident was recorded, but it was determined to be a false alarm with no civilian injuries reported. The property has maintained proper documentation of its major renovations and improvements, with all work completed to code requirements as of the most recent records.

Risk rating

How 4081-4083 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
53th percentile

Out of 348 buildings in this neighborhood, 164 are predicted to be safer.
