Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 124 Teddy Avenue in Visitacion Valley, owned by Zhao Sally, was constructed in 1916 and has undergone several significant issues and improvements over its lifetime. Most notably, as of December 2024, there are multiple active violations including unauthorized attic bathroom installation, improper occupancy, heating system deficiencies, stairs requiring repairs, and mold/mildew presence, along with concerns about plumbing, electrical, and ventilation systems.

These violations appear to be part of a larger pattern of maintenance issues, with historical records showing stair-related problems in 2001 (which were ultimately resolved by 2002), and a work without permit complaint regarding staircase alterations in 2013. The building's maintenance history shows some attention to infrastructure, including roofing work in 1995 (though one permit expired), vinyl siding installation in 1998, and repairs to front stairs and deck in 2013.

Risk rating

How 124 Teddy 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 214 buildings in this neighborhood, 94 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 84.7%
Moderate concern 8.2%
Severe concern 7.1%
