Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 915 Burnett Ave in Twin Peaks, owned by the Elsie L Brolan Revocable Living Trust, has experienced significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, there are multiple active violations as of 2023 involving water damage, damaged ceiling, stair repairs, deck repairs, interior surface issues, and missing fire safety documentation. The building's condition has prompted several repair permits in 2023-2024, including work on the balcony and back stairs. Serious structural concerns have been documented, particularly regarding the balconies, with complaints in June 2023 noting dilapidation, crumbling condition, and dry rot issues. Historical records show previous maintenance work, including a 2008 renovation of units 2 and 3 involving door and window replacements, and a complete reroofing in 1995, though many of these repairs appear to have recurring issues.

The property has a history of safety and maintenance concerns dating back to at least 1996. Past violations and complaints have included problems with windows causing water damage, unauthorized construction work, and concerns about combustible storage and fire safety compliance in 2009. More recent complaints from early 2024 suggest ongoing construction-related issues, including concerns about worker sanitation facilities. The building's infrastructure has also prompted various permit requests for repairs, with the most recent being for balcony repairs costing $6,800 in December 2023 and back stairs landing repairs costing $4,500 in April 2023. While there have been numerous 311 calls regarding the property's surroundings and nearby areas, these tend to relate to street parking, sidewalk cleaning, and graffiti issues rather than direct building code violations.

Risk rating

How 915 Burnett 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.
