Initial analysis

This two-story multi-family residential building at 1325-1329 Ocean Avenue in the Ingleside neighborhood was built in 1907 and contains 2 units, with ground-floor commercial space. The property underwent significant safety and infrastructure improvements between 2015-2016, including the installation of a comprehensive NFPA-13 fire sprinkler system with 88 heads, completed in December 2015 at a cost of $45,000. Additional improvements included new plumbing throughout the building, electrical service upgrade to 400 amps, and kitchen reconfiguration work in 2016. However, there are several concerning recent developments: as of February 2024, an active complaint has been filed regarding the unauthorized installation of five skylights on the roof, and there is an ongoing issue with a vacant commercial storefront that has reached active violation status. Historically, the building has experienced multiple fire-related incidents, though most were confined cooking fires or false alarms, with no civilian injuries reported. The property has undergone various maintenance and compliance issues, including past violations for poor housekeeping and improper storage of combustibles in 2006, though these were subsequently closed. Recent 311 calls from early 2025 indicate recurring issues with garbage and debris management outside the building, and there is an open planning record regarding an unpermitted red awning installation as of 2022.

The building's recent history shows substantial investment in safety systems and infrastructure (over $60,000 in fire systems and safety upgrades), but also points to ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges. The most pressing current issue appears to be the unauthorized skylight installation, which has triggered an active violation status. The property has a historical pattern of fire safety incidents, though recent upgrades suggest improved safety systems, and past violations for housekeeping and storage issues were addressed. The frequency of recent 311 calls regarding garbage management may indicate challenges with sanitation services or waste management practices in the vicinity, though these primarily concern street cleaning rather than building-specific issues.

Risk rating

How 1325-1329 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.
