Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1794 Newcomb Avenue in Bayview, owned by Jackson Liller Bozie, has undergone significant restoration work following a serious fire incident in July 2021 that rendered the building uninhabitable due to extensive smoke and water damage affecting both floors. The fire caused substantial damage to interior finishes, electrical systems, and structural components, requiring a comprehensive $700,000 restoration project completed in early 2024 that included roof repairs, floor joist replacements, and updates to electrical and plumbing systems. Recent improvements to the property include a complete window replacement project ($40,000) and the installation of new furnaces, water heaters, and comprehensive rewiring for both units and the basement, indicating a substantial investment in bringing the building up to modern standards.

The building's history also shows some ongoing maintenance issues, including an active complaint from April 2024 regarding peeling paint on the front and side of the building, and previous concerns about inadequate heating and water supply in 1994 and 2017 respectively. Recent activity around the property has generated multiple reports of garbage and debris (November 2024 through January 2025), though these were mostly routine street cleaning matters handled by city services. The building's renovation work appears to have addressed the most significant safety and habitability issues resulting from the fire, with all major systems being thoroughly updated or replaced, including plumbing (new fixtures throughout), electrical (comprehensive rewiring), and HVAC systems. The property has maintained a compliant status in recent inspections, with no new major violations recorded since the fire incident was addressed.

Risk rating

How 1794 Newcomb 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.
