Initial analysis

This two-unit residential building, located at 1247-1249 Pacific Avenue in Nob Hill, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1949 and currently owned by Shung Chee & Jane Y C C So. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over its lifetime, including two separate reroofing projects in 1991 and 2007 (the latter costing $12,500), window replacements in 1996, and the construction of an auxiliary garage building in 1984. Two proposed projects for a rear yard deck and patio cover on the second floor were submitted for consideration, though one was disapproved and the status of the other is listed as closed.

Recent history shows a recurring issue with driveway access, particularly during 2019 when there were multiple incidents of vehicles blocking the driveway, resulting in several citations being issued. The most notable pattern occurred between March and December 2019, with five documented cases of parking violations. The surrounding area has also experienced periodic maintenance challenges, with several reports of street cleaning needs between 2009 and 2012, including instances of loose garbage, hazardous materials, and items related to encampments. While these external issues have been mostly addressed, they indicate some ongoing attention is required for the building's immediate surroundings.

Risk rating

How 1247-1249 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.
