Initial analysis

The four-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 177 14th Street in the Inner Mission, currently owned by Giampaolo Boschetti, has a significant history of maintenance and safety issues dating back to 2013. Most recently, between 2021 and early 2022, the property underwent multiple corrections to address fire safety violations, including the removal of combustible storage, repair of fire escape ladders, and updating of smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors. These violations, along with other maintenance issues such as floor repairs and weather stripping updates, were addressed through various permits totaling around $900 in 2021. Earlier, in 2013, the building required substantial repairs including deck modifications and water heater installations, following complaints about unauthorized lead paint remediation work and possible exposure risks to children.

The property has experienced recurring heating system issues, with multiple complaints in 2013 and 2021 regarding inadequate heating in units, particularly concerning bedroom vents. A plumbing complaint about a potential sewage leak was filed in July 2021. Fire safety concerns were particularly prominent in 2021, with violations noted for various issues including garbage placement, fire escape functionality, and fire extinguisher maintenance. Although most of these violations were officially abated by January 2022, there was one expired electrical permit from October 2021 for receptacle replacement. The building's location has also been subject to typical urban challenges, with multiple 311 calls in recent years (2022-2024) primarily relating to street cleaning, garbage issues, and graffiti removal, though these are more related to the neighborhood rather than the building's direct condition or management.

Risk rating

How 177 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.
