Initial analysis

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 47-49 Rico Way, located in San Francisco's Marina district, was constructed in 1925 and is currently owned by the Clara Besagno Living Trust. The two-story flats/duplex structure has undergone several significant maintenance and upgrade projects over the years. Notably, in 2007-2008, work was performed on the approximately 8'x20' rear deck to replace weather-damaged decking, railings, and posts with upgraded materials, though the original permit eventually expired. Other historical improvements include a reroofing project completed in 2001 at a cost of $7,250, and the installation of Alside vinyl siding on the front facade in 1987.

The property has experienced recurring parking-related issues in recent years, with multiple citations issued for vehicles blocking driveways between 2022 and 2024, including recent incidents in November 2024. These enforcement actions suggest an ongoing challenge with parking compliance in the area. Additionally, there have been three recorded fire safety incidents: an unintentional alarm transmission, and a carbon monoxide detector activation, though neither incident resulted in civilian injuries or indicated any persistent safety concerns. The most recent building maintenance history shows no major repairs or improvements on record since the 2007 deck repairs, though this may not fully represent current building conditions.

Risk rating

How 47-49 Rico Way'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

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 79 are predicted to be safer.
