Initial analysis

The property at 1534-1536 15th Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission district is a two-unit, two-story residential building constructed in 1907, currently owned by Diana L. Davenport. The building has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent months, with multiple active violations as of 2024. These include problems with plumbing (sink repairs needed), general dilapidation, concerns about lead-based paint, and issues with window hardware and glazing. Complaints filed between May 2024 and January 2025 have documented various concerns, including low water pressure, hot water inconsistencies, electrical problems (flickering lights and blown fuses), and apparent rodent infestation. Several 311 calls in late 2024 reported issues including garbage and debris, encampments, and a damaged tree near the property.

Historically, the building underwent multiple roofing projects in 2006-2007, with permits showing expenses ranging from $2,500 to $8,300. Recent building permits from 2021 indicate work was proposed for replacing the steel garage door. The property has had two notable fire-related incidents on record: a carbon monoxide incident and a smoke detector malfunction, though neither resulted in civilian injuries. A short-term rental (STR) complaint was also recorded, suggesting possible unauthorized rental activity. While a tenant buyout occurred at the adjacent 1540 15th Street address in 2020 involving three tenants and a payment of $33,000, it is not directly related to this property's current issues.

Risk rating

How 1534-1536 15Th 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.
