Initial analysis

The 12-unit multi-family residential building at 184 Funston Ave, owned by Marvin A Remnich Rev Tr 200, has a history dating back to its construction in 1926. Over the years, the property has undergone several significant maintenance and safety improvements, with the most recent being electrical upgrades in September 2023, including the installation of new exit signs in common areas. The building has faced numerous challenges related to building maintenance and safety systems, particularly between 2013-2014 when multiple complaints were filed regarding wood stairs, lead paint, and appliance issues. A notable cluster of violations occurred in 2001 related to fire safety and security systems, including problems with fire escape ladders, exterior door self-closing devices, and lead paint hazards, though all were abated by September 2001.

The property has maintained an active schedule of safety inspections and repairs, including the replacement of the commercial water heater in 2010 and the installation of underground electrical conduit in 2003. Fire safety has been a recurring focus, with multiple alarm system inspections and corrections noted between 2015-2023, and violations related to door hardware and fire alarm records in 2016 that were subsequently abated. Recent 311 calls from 2021-2024 primarily relate to external issues such as graffiti, street cleaning, and noise complaints, which are not directly related to building conditions. The building's maintenance record shows regular attention to safety systems and prompt response to violations, with all documented violations and complaints having been resolved or abated.

Risk rating

How 184 Funston 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
3th percentile

Out of 660 buildings in this neighborhood, 640 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 22.1%
Moderate concern 58.1%
Severe concern 19.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
