Initial analysis

The Navarro Family Trust owns this two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located at 17 Coso Ave in Bernal Heights. Built in 1906, this flats and duplex-style property has experienced several notable events over the past few years. The most significant incident occurred in mid-2020 when unauthorized construction work was reported regarding a landing and staircase replacement in the rear of the building. This resulted in a violation notice in October 2020, which was later resolved through a permitted repair project completed in November 2020 that cost approximately $1,500. Since then, the property has maintained a relatively clean record in terms of building violations.

The building's recent history (2021-2024) shows no major structural or safety concerns directly affecting the building itself. However, there have been numerous 311 calls primarily related to park services and maintenance issues in the surrounding area, including irrigation problems, tree inspections, and trash dumping incidents. The most recent building-related service request was for structural maintenance (graffiti) in November 2024, which was promptly addressed and closed. The property's maintenance appears to be generally responsive to required repairs and permits, with the 2020 staircase issue being the only significant code violation on record.

Risk rating

How 17 Coso 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.
