Initial analysis

The property at 1600 Newcomb Ave in San Francisco's Bayview neighborhood is a one-story, two-unit, multi-family residential building constructed in 1907, currently owned by Jaime U Puebla. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most recent major work being a $32,250 reroofing project completed in May 2023. Other notable renovations include vinyl siding installation in 2001, aluminum window installation in 1988, and a solar panel system installation in 2016 (though this permit has expired). A concerning issue remains unresolved from October 2017 when a complaint was filed regarding potentially inhabitable basement living conditions, which is currently marked as active with Housing Inspection Services.

The building has experienced various maintenance and safety concerns over the years, including three fire safety complaints between 2009 and 2018, though most were investigated and found to have "No Merit" except for a June 2011 exit blockage that was promptly corrected. The property has a notable pattern of recent sanitation issues, with multiple 311 calls between December 2024 and January 2025 (at least eight incidents) primarily related to garbage and debris, including reports of abandoned electronics, appliances, and other waste materials. A missing side sewer vent cover issue was also reported and has been resolved, though this appears to be a duplicate case. The building's infrastructure has received regular maintenance attention, as evidenced by the various permits for roofing, siding, and window improvements, suggesting ongoing property upkeep by the current owner.

Risk rating

How 1600 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.
