Initial analysis

1401 Ocean Avenue is a two-story, 8-unit multi-family residential building located in the Ingleside neighborhood, owned by Belanio G & Carmen S Baysac and built in 1962. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the years, including a soft-story retrofit completed in 2017 at a cost of $100,000 to meet seismic safety requirements, and recent reroofing work completed in 2022 costing $26,000. The property has maintained compliance with various safety codes, including the installation of ground fault protection in 2017 and the replacement of a 100-gallon gas water heater in 2021.

The building's history reveals recurring maintenance challenges, particularly related to water issues. The most recent and serious complaint, filed in February 2023, involved ongoing water leakage affecting the kitchen and bathroom, which allegedly contributed to tenant health issues. This followed a pattern of water-related complaints between 2014 and 2018, including instances of water damage and mold/mildew. The building experienced multiple violations in 2001 related to safety and maintenance issues, including problems with combustibles storage, gas utility shutoff tools, various plumbing and electrical systems, and fire safety concerns, though these were all abated by May 2001. While there were two fire-related incidents recorded, neither resulted in injuries, and a smoke detector activation was deemed unintentional. The property has also shown recent concerns with garbage management, with multiple reports of overflowing city garbage cans documented through 2024, though these are related to street cleaning issues rather than building maintenance.

Risk rating

How 1401 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
4th percentile

Out of 156 buildings in this neighborhood, 150 are predicted to be safer.
