Initial analysis

The two-story multi-family residential building at 1827-1829 Ocean Avenue, owned by Garret & Anita Tom Trust, was constructed in 1941 and contains two units with ground-floor commercial space. Significant improvements have been made to the property over the years, including a $100,000 commercial space remodel in 2007 that added a second floor, exterior stairs, new restrooms, and ADA accessibility features. This was followed by comprehensive plumbing and electrical upgrades in 2008, including the installation of two new bathrooms, a water heater, and extensive electrical work. The building underwent reroofing in 2016, and more recently, in 2022, a non-electric wall sign was installed for Kumon, though this work later generated a building inspection complaint due to lack of proper inspection.

Recent activity from late 2024 shows numerous reports regarding street maintenance and sanitation issues in the vicinity, including multiple instances of garbage and debris (including abandoned furniture), sidewalk defects, and graffiti on a parking meter. Several of these issues were promptly resolved, while at least one pavement defect remains open. A significant regulatory matter was addressed when an unauthorized conversion of second-story commercial space to residential use was reported and subsequently abated. The property has maintained a generally stable history of improvements and necessary maintenance, with most recent concerns being related to street-level issues rather than building-specific problems.

Risk rating

How 1827-1829 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, 111 are predicted to be safer.
