Initial analysis

The three-story, five-unit multi-family residential building at 434 14th Street in Mission Dolores was constructed in 1954 and is currently owned by Kenneth Jung. The building has undergone several routine inspections over the years, with records showing violations related to safety and maintenance between 2003 and 2008. In 2003, issues were identified regarding storage and clotheslines obstructing stairways, while 2008 violations included problems with fire safety equipment (fire extinguishers and alarm system) and gas utility requirements. All these historical violations were subsequently abated, with the most recent inspection record from 2010 showing compliance.

More recent concerns include a building complaint from December 2022 regarding an unauthorized structure being constructed in the backyard, which was investigated and closed in January 2023. A fire complaint related to electrical systems was recorded and referred to another agency in June 2023. The property has generated multiple 311 calls in recent years, primarily related to street maintenance issues such as graffiti, hazardous materials, and cleaning needs, though these external factors do not directly impact building conditions. The most recent incident at the property was a parking enforcement issue in December 2023, which was resolved with a citation.

Risk rating

How 434 14Th 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.
