Initial analysis

The property at 4167 17th Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1906, currently owned by Frost 1999 Family Trust. The building has undergone significant renovations and maintenance in recent years, with the most substantial work occurring in 2022, including a comprehensive remodel of Unit 4167's kitchen and bathroom, replacement of eight vinyl windows in the rear, and the completion of necessary plumbing and electrical upgrades. Of particular note is the building's history of dry rot issues, with repairs performed in 2022 to the east service porch and stairs. Earlier improvements include a complete reroofing project in 2020 and the installation of a new furnace in 2017.

The property did experience one noteworthy incident in December 2020 when a complaint was filed regarding unauthorized renovation work, including kitchen and bathroom remodeling and possible attic finishing in the upper unit, with reported electrical work being performed without proper permits. However, this complaint appears to have been resolved, as the building subsequently received proper permits for similar work in 2022, including electrical panel upgrades to accommodate AFCI requirements. The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep, including addressing structural issues like dry rot and window replacements, suggesting active property management. The surrounding area has experienced typical urban issues such as temporary encampments and street cleaning needs, though these are external to the building itself and don't directly impact the property's condition or management.

Risk rating

How 4167 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.
