Initial analysis

The property at 161-163 Corbett Avenue is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building located in Corona Heights, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by the Diane Rapley Revoc Trust. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past two decades, with the most recent major work being extensive electrical upgrades in January 2025, including the installation of dedicated circuits throughout the kitchen and living areas, and new lighting systems. Prior to this, the building received a new roof in 2020 at a cost of $18,000, and in 2018 underwent substantial exterior work including replacement of damaged sheathing and installation of new wood siding on the east elevation, costing over $48,000. Historical maintenance records show attention to various structural elements, including rear deck strengthening in 2000 and front stairs repairs in 1994, both addressing issues related to weather damage.

The building has experienced several safety and maintenance concerns over its history, though most have been addressed and resolved. In 1999, there were complaints about unsafe deck conditions, sealed windows, and potential code violations regarding utility meters, all of which appear to have been resolved by 2000. More recent issues included temporary concerns about exterior electrical wiring for EV charging in 2022, and various maintenance matters related to trees and garbage receptacle management in the vicinity, with the most recent being resolved cases from September 2024. The property's maintenance history suggests regular upkeep, with documented responses to both routine inspections and specific complaints. While there were building violations noted in 2002 regarding security and appliance clearance requirements, these were all abated by March 2003. The property's records show a pattern of addressing structural and safety concerns as they arise, with the most recent permits indicating continued investment in building improvements and systems upgrades.

Risk rating

How 161-163 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.
