Initial analysis

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 1756 Revere Ave in Bayview, owned by Alex Guijie Chang, has undergone significant transformations since its 1924 construction. The most substantial renovation occurred in 2013-2015, when the property was converted from a single-family home to a two-unit dwelling, including a horizontal extension with two new bedrooms, kitchen, and bathroom modifications on the first floor, along with additional living spaces on the second floor. During this period, extensive interior remodeling took place, including kitchen and bathroom renovations, electrical work, and sewer line repairs. However, a concerning active building complaint was filed in March 2024, alleging unauthorized modifications beyond the approved permits, including a large skylight, smaller street-facing windows, and a wider garage door, with non-compliance regarding landscaping requirements. This follows a pattern of permit-related issues, with complaints in 2014 and 2019 regarding unpermitted construction work.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to basic infrastructure, including two reroofing projects (1996 and 2014), though there have been recurring concerns about property upkeep. A significant housing complaint from 2009 reported multiple maintenance issues including deteriorating interiors and rodent infestation, which were documented as resolved by 2012. Recent activity from 2023-2025 has primarily consisted of external concerns, such as abandoned vehicles and sidewalk cleaning issues, though these don't directly impact the building's condition. The property's permit records show regular maintenance and improvements, including plumbing and electrical updates, though the recent building complaint regarding unauthorized modifications remains unresolved as of October 2023.

Risk rating

How 1756 Revere 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, 241 are predicted to be safer.
