Initial analysis

The property at 1425-1427 Ocean Avenue is a mixed-use building constructed in 1925, featuring three residential units and a ground-floor commercial space, currently owned by SF Municipal Railway Employees Federal Credit Union. The building has undergone significant renovations and maintenance over the years, with the most recent substantial work occurring in 2024 when major improvements were made to the kitchen and bathrooms on the second floor, with an associated cost of approximately $238,800. In 2023, accessible improvements were completed in the commercial space, including bathroom renovations and ceiling repairs. The building has received consistent attention to maintenance and upgrades, including a complete reroofing of the lower rear section in 2020, installation of new bathrooms, and extensive electrical upgrades.

Historically, the building faced several maintenance challenges in the early 2000s, including violations related to electrical systems, plumbing, interior surfaces, and heating that were all abated by May 2002. More recent history shows attention to building upkeep, though there were recurring issues with the commercial space being vacant between 2020-2023. The property has also experienced some external maintenance matters including graffiti (most recently in 2023) and various municipal service requests, though these do not typically impact residential conditions directly. Recent improvements indicate active management of building systems, with proper permits obtained for significant electrical work, including the installation of a new subpanel and extensive rewiring on the second floor. The building's current condition appears stable, with ongoing maintenance and upgrading of both residential and commercial spaces being evident through recent building permit activity.

Risk rating

How 1425-1427 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.
