Initial analysis

This three-story, multi-family residential building at 169 Corbett Avenue in Corona Heights, owned by Luba Troyanovsky, was constructed in 1900 and originally classified as a flats and duplex structure containing two units. The property has a significant history of maintenance and compliance issues, with the most pressing current concerns documented in recent building complaints from April 2018 and August 2024. The 2018 complaint (still active) alleges several violations including the need for fire extinguishers, plumbing permits, weatherproofing repairs, and compliance evidence for carbon monoxide and smoke alarms. The 2024 complaint reports issues with roof leaks, floor conditions, and possible mold concerns. The building underwent several unauthorized modifications and improvements between 2005 and 2010, including attempts to legalize ground floor modifications and various repair projects, some of which were completed while others were canceled or expired.

The property has documented permit work for various improvements, including siding repairs in 2018 ($3,000), window replacements in 2007 ($6,000), and electrical system upgrades. Four units were officially recorded in a 2010 inspection, despite the building's two-unit designation. Multiple building violations, complaints about an unauthorized unit (2005-2007), and historical issues with dilapidation and unfinished work were previously documented between 2005 and 2010. Recent 311 calls (2020-2023) primarily relate to street cleaning and parking enforcement, with limited direct relevance to the building's condition. The property's current status shows multiple active violations from 2018 and 2024, indicating ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges.

Risk rating

How 169 Corbett Ave'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

Out of 348 buildings in this neighborhood, 177 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.

Neighborhood location

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

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 70.5%
Moderate concern 16.2%
Severe concern 13.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
