Initial analysis

This two-story, 8-unit multi-family residential building located at 1471 15th Street in the Inner Mission neighborhood was built in 1900 and is currently owned by Drolapas Dimitris. The property has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, with the most recent being a $22,000 reroofing project completed in September 2023. A notable safety upgrade was completed in 2022, with the installation of a mandatory fire alarm system upgrade including a new panel, low frequency horns, and wireless communicator, followed by an electrical permit completion in May 2024. The building has a history of addressing maintenance issues, including a major structural improvement in 2012 involving the installation of plywood over the cripple wall and replacement of cracked joists, and various unit-specific renovations such as kitchen and bathroom updates in 2013.

The building has experienced several compliance issues over the years, with the most significant occurring in 2003 when multiple violations were filed regarding sanitation, handrails, alarm systems, vent pipes, and combustible storage, all of which were abated by October 2003. More recent complaints include a 2022 inspection regarding gas utility shutoff tools and a 2011 health and safety inspection, both of which were resolved. The property has also faced habitation-related complaints, including reports of heating issues, mold, and dilapidated fixtures in 2008, all of which were addressed. Three illegal occupancy complaints were filed between 2019-2021, with one noted as having "no merit." Recent 311 calls (2022-2024) primarily relate to street-level issues such as graffiti, debris, and general cleaning matters outside the building, most of which were resolved promptly. The building's maintenance record shows regular attention to both safety compliance and general upkeep, with most recent improvements focusing on fire safety systems and structural integrity.

Risk rating

How 1471 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.

Grade C — Moderate risk
