Initial analysis

The property at 1949 15th Street is a two-story, multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, containing three units and owned by Sayde Alexander. The building has undergone several significant renovations in recent years, with the most substantial improvements occurring between 2019-2021. These include a complete kitchen and bathroom remodel in Unit A in 2021 ($35,000) with associated plumbing and electrical work, and a series of comprehensive upgrades in 2019 involving structural modifications (removal of a center bearing wall in Unit C), kitchen and bathroom remodels across multiple units, and an electrical service upgrade to 200A for four meters. The 2019 renovations included extensive new wiring throughout, installation of multiple fixtures, and updates to smoke detection systems.

The building has a relatively low number of concerning incidents on record. A routine housing inspection was conducted in March 2010 with no significant findings. While there have been multiple fire alarm activations recorded (all categorized as false alarms or system malfunctions with no injuries), these incidents do not indicate any actual fire-related safety concerns. The property has generated several 311 calls in recent months (September 2024 - January 2025), primarily related to street cleaning issues, parking concerns, and some noise complaints, though most of these were resolved by city services and do not directly relate to the building's condition or safety. A hanging tree limb was reported in October 2024 and has been resolved, while two recent 311 calls regarding noise and illegal postings remain open as of October 2024.

Risk rating

How 1949 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.

Neighborhood percentile
77th percentile

Out of 799 buildings in this neighborhood, 184 are predicted to be safer.
