Initial analysis

The two-unit residential property at 1657-1659 Oakdale Avenue in the Bayview neighborhood, owned by Siavash & Samaneh Tahbazof, is a historic 1904 one-story flats and duplex building. The property underwent significant electrical upgrades in 2004-2008, including complete rewiring with new 200-amp service and installation of comprehensive electrical systems including lighting, switches, and receptacles, although one permit from 2004 was cancelled. A notable building complaint was filed in April 2004 regarding roof leaks, mold, and ventilation issues in the bathrooms and kitchen, though this issue was marked as abated by May 2004.

The property has experienced recurring issues with parking and street maintenance in recent years, with multiple citations issued for vehicles blocking driveways between 2020-2024, including a grey Mercedes and a burgundy Land Rover. The most recent incidents involve loose garbage and debris reported in 2024, and there was a rejected application for Parcel Delivery Service use in 1659 Oakdale Avenue due to zoning non-compliance. While the building's major systems appear to have received substantial modernization in the mid-2000s, the pattern of parking violations and street cleaning issues suggests ongoing challenges with the immediate neighborhood's infrastructure and enforcement.

Risk rating

How 1657-1659 Oakdale 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.
