Initial analysis

The property at 1448 Quesada Ave is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by the Lydia Norman Revocable Living Trust. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the years, including the installation of a solar system in 2012 (1.2 kW with 6 roof-mounted PV modules), window upgrades in 2004 (replacing 11 single-glazed wood windows with dual-glazed vinyl), reroofing in 1990, and various interior and exterior repairs. A notable compliance issue occurred in 2003-2006 regarding an unauthorized two-story rear deck construction, which resulted in multiple violation notices and a director hearing in March 2004, though the matter was ultimately abated in April 2006.

The building has experienced several maintenance-related incidents in recent months (between October 2024 and January 2025), including sewage discharge issues, water main problems, and multiple reports of garbage and debris. Street-related concerns have included illegal parking and abandoned furniture. Historically, there have been three documented fire-related incidents, though none resulted in injuries or significant damage, and a 2019 complaint was determined to have no merit. The property's permit history shows proper completion of necessary permits for major improvements, though some permits from the 1980s (related to interior work and partition relocation) expired without completion.

Risk rating

How 1448 Quesada Ave'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

Out of 382 buildings in this neighborhood, 286 are predicted to be safer.
