Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 279 Teddy Avenue in Visitacion Valley, owned by Douglas and Tiana Blunt, was constructed in 1900 as a single-story flats and duplex structure. The property has undergone several maintenance and compliance events over the years, most notably a complete roof replacement in April 2023 costing $6,300, and an insulation installation attempt in 1999 that expired without completion. There have been two significant complaints regarding unauthorized construction at the property in late 2010, with one complaint specifically mentioning illegal rooms in the rear and an illegal driveway, though the housing inspection services case remains active while the building inspection division case was marked not active.

Of particular concern is the recent pattern of parking violations around the property, with eight documented instances of vehicles blocking driveways or parking on sidewalks between January 1 and January 10, 2025, resulting in multiple citations being issued and some incidents unable to be validated by responding officers. There was also one water-related incident involving a fire hydrant in December 2024 that was properly addressed and accepted by fire department services. The most recent permitted work on the property, which is now established as completed, involved replacement of comp shingles and roofing at visible roof areas, recorded under the planning department as completed with the owner information included.

Risk rating

How 279 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, 68 are predicted to be safer.
