Initial analysis

The two-story multi-family residential building at 1472 Pacific Avenue in Nob Hill, owned by Lew Dung Chuey & Shuet Fong, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety-related events over the past few years. Most notably, a substantial re-roofing project with an estimated cost of $34,000 was permitted in October 2024. The building has faced recurring issues with graffiti, with two documented incidents in 2023-2024, including one offensive case in June 2023 that was addressed by the SES Graffiti Crew. The property has also had some landscaping concerns, including a damaged tree incident in January 2023 which was inspected and determined to be healthy enough to remain.

The building's recent history shows ongoing challenges with waste management and street cleanliness, with multiple 311 calls regarding garbage and debris between 2021 and 2025, including reports of loose garbage and abandoned items like mattresses on or near the property. While some of these cases were marked as "Closed - Case Resolved," including one in January 2025 that required no work, the frequency of these issues suggests a persistent problem. A general painting request from July 2024 and an unspecified service request from January 2024 are currently noted as open cases. The most recent documented issue related to the property is a graffiti incident from November 2023, which remains unresolved in the system.

Risk rating

How 1472 Pacific 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
