Initial analysis

The property at 1343 South Van Ness Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood. Built in 1906 and currently owned by the Llamas Family Trust, the building has undergone several significant maintenance updates over the years. Most recently, in April 2024, the property received a complete reroofing at a cost of $24,000, following a prior window improvement project from 2006 that involved replacing ten windows (seven of which faced the street) at a cost of $7,500. Notably, there was one building permit-related complaint filed in May 2006 regarding unauthorized work on the front bay windows, but this complaint was abated within a week in June 2006.

The building's recent activity has been primarily centered around parking enforcement issues, with numerous complaints filed between August and October 2024. A total of ten parking-related incidents were reported to the MTA Parking Enforcement Dispatch, with most cases being either unable to be validated or resulting in the officers not being able to locate the reported issue. Two of these incidents in September 2024 received specific notes regarding the legality of using objects to reserve parking spaces on public roadways in San Francisco, indicating that residents had attempted to block or "hold" parking spots using cones or other means, though these practices have no legal standing according to parking regulations. While these parking issues represent the majority of recent activity associated with the building, they do not directly relate to the building's structural integrity or resident safety.

Risk rating

How 1343 South Van Ness 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
69th percentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 738 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.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 50.2%
Moderate concern 26.1%
Severe concern 23.7%
