Initial analysis

This two-unit multi-family residential building, located at 1575 La Salle Ave in the Bayview neighborhood, was constructed in 1919 and has undergone numerous significant renovations and faced several concerning issues over its history. Most notably, there are active building complaints from 2018 regarding unpermitted construction of a three-story deck and stair, water heater replacement without proper permits, and mold in the mechanical room, which remain unresolved as of the latest reporting. The building has undergone substantial renovation work, particularly between 2009-2010, including complete electrical system upgrades, HVAC system installation, plumbing improvements, and significant interior remodeling of both units. However, there have been recurring maintenance and safety concerns, including a heating system failure in 2013 that left one unit without heat, and historical issues with plumbing and sanitation facilities, most notably a 1996 incident involving inadequate bathroom facilities that required intervention.

Recent months (January 2025) have seen multiple reports of garbage and debris issues around the property, though these are related to exterior maintenance rather than interior conditions. The building's fire safety system has shown some history of false alarms and malfunctioning equipment, though these incidents have not resulted in any injuries. Past violations have included issues with security of vacant buildings (2008) and various fire code compliance matters, though these appear to have been resolved. The property has undergone several official verifications and corrections to establish its two-unit occupancy status, with various permits issued and completed for different aspects of the building's systems and interior spaces.

Risk rating

How 1575 La Salle 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, 271 are predicted to be safer.
