Initial analysis

The property at 1831-1835 Ocean Ave is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building located in the Ingleside neighborhood, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by the Legarza Revocable Trust. The building has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, with the most substantial being a complete back wall renovation in 2023, which included the installation of fiber cement siding and replacement of six windows, costing over $55,000. Other recent improvements include a reroofing project initiated in early 2023 ($11,900), and a 2015 kitchen renovation that involved cabinet replacement, new fixtures, and electrical upgrades. The building has a history of addressing maintenance issues, including the removal of mold from the ground floor medical office in 2007 and various routine inspections between 2001-2010 that identified multiple safety concerns such as fire extinguisher maintenance and smoke detector repairs, all of which were subsequently resolved.

Recent records from 2024-2025 indicate several ongoing maintenance challenges in the immediate vicinity of the property, including tree-related issues (overgrown trees blocking street lights, near communication lines, and lifted sidewalk due to tree roots) and multiple reports of garbage and debris. A housing inspection complaint filed in September 2024 and a rodent/insect infestation report from October 2024 suggest some potential maintenance concerns within the building, though the housing inspection case was marked as "Closed Accepted." The building's historical records show various renovations and improvements over the decades, including a 1990 chiropractic office remodel and electrical upgrades in 2003. While the property has experienced periodic safety violations, particularly regarding fire safety equipment in the early 2000s, these issues appear to have been consistently addressed upon citation.

Risk rating

How 1831-1835 Ocean 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 156 buildings in this neighborhood, 94 are predicted to be safer.
