Initial analysis

The property at 1586 Thomas Avenue is a one-story multi-family residential building located in the Bayview neighborhood, containing three units and constructed in 1907. The building's maintenance and improvements history shows consistent attention to upkeep, with the most recent significant work being the installation of new windows and doors in 2022, costing approximately $24,000. The building has undergone various solar energy improvements, including a 1.2 kW system installed in 2004 and further upgrades in 2012, demonstrating a commitment to sustainable energy usage. Electrical infrastructure was notably improved in 2012 with a service upgrade to 100 amps and unsafe wiring repairs.

Recent concerns primarily revolve around external maintenance and parking issues. Between July 2024 and January 2025, there were multiple complaints about garbage and debris on the property and surrounding areas, with Recology responding to various cases including loose garbage, yard waste, and abandoned items. The property has also experienced recurring parking-related issues, with multiple reports of vehicles blocking driveways and parking on sidewalks between July and October 2024, though most of these were resolved through enforcement actions. Historical records from the early 1990s indicate various improvements including window installations and deck repairs, while two fire complaints regarding weeds and combustible materials were recorded in 2009 and 2011 but were promptly addressed.

Risk rating

How 1586 Thomas 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.
