Initial analysis

1344 Ocean Avenue is a 3-story, 9-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1925, currently owned by Miguel F & Joanne P Navarro. The property has undergone significant telecommunications infrastructure upgrades in recent years, including multiple antenna installations and equipment updates for AT&T, Verizon, and Dish Wireless between 2018 and 2023, with the most recent work involving a $30,000 electrical revision filed in December 2023. The building faced several serious issues in late 2021, including violations related to plumbing permits, fire escape ladders, central alarm system, self-closing devices, and lead paint hazards, though these violations were abated by August 2022. More recent complaints from 2023 and early 2024 have raised concerns about plumbing leaks, alleged hoarding, and animal waste accumulation in one unit.

The building has a history of maintenance and safety issues requiring attention, including problems with the central alarm system, fire safety equipment, and various building code compliance matters. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 indicate ongoing property maintenance concerns, particularly regarding sidewalk conditions and garbage issues. The most recent fire violation in September 2023 related to the alarm system has been marked as abated. Multiple routine inspections have been conducted over the years, revealing various maintenance and safety compliance needs, with many issues being corrected promptly. The property has also maintained active engagement with city planning processes, particularly regarding its telecommunications facilities, with several conditional use permits and modifications related to wireless equipment installations being successfully processed and implemented. While the building has experienced periodic maintenance challenges, recent years have shown substantial investment in both telecommunications infrastructure and addressing building code violations, though some recent complaints suggest ongoing property management concerns.

Risk rating

How 1344 Ocean 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
33th percentile

Out of 6 buildings in this neighborhood, 4 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.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 7.8%
Moderate concern 55.4%
Severe concern 36.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
