Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1730-1732 McKinnon Avenue in Bayview, constructed in 1923, has undergone several significant improvements since 2006. Most notably, the property experienced a cluster of building code violations in March 2006, related to heating, weatherproofing, and fire safety issues, which were all abated by July 19, 2006. In response to these issues, the building underwent comprehensive upgrades in 2006, including the installation of two new furnaces (one for each unit), and in 2007, a bathroom renovation project was completed on the ground floor, along with associated electrical and plumbing work totaling approximately $1,200. The building's roofing, however, underwent work in 2006 with an issued permit that later expired.

Recent history shows some maintenance challenges, with multiple 311 calls in 2024 primarily related to garbage and debris on and around the property. In terms of tenant turnover, there was a significant buyout incident recorded in October 2019 at a neighboring address (1714 Mckinnon Avenue), involving three tenants and a payment of $25,000, though this is separate from the subject property's record. The building's recent history includes a smoke-related incident (date unspecified) that resulted in no civilian injuries. The most recent building-related issues involve a missing side sewer vent cover, which was resolved in October 2024.

Risk rating

How 1730-1732 Mckinnon 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
