AI summary

The two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 200-204 Funston Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Richmond district was built in 1908 and is currently owned by the Fubini-Merzenich Revocable Trust. The property has undergone several significant renovations and encountered multiple safety and maintenance issues over its history. Most recently, in March 2014, street-visible windows were replaced with new Marvin wood and vinyl windows at a cost of $6,000. The building underwent substantial improvements in 2006-2007, including a $50,000 renovation of all four units' kitchens and bathrooms, electrical work, and addressing various repairs.

Important safety concerns emerged between 2006-2011, including multiple violations and complaints regarding water heaters (three improperly installed units in 2007), electrical hazards (exposed wires and lighting issues in common areas), and plumbing problems. A routine inspection in March 2011 identified issues with fire extinguisher placement and required access for inspections. The electrical system received significant upgrades, including an underground service conversion completed in 2003 with 200A service and four meters, and various wiring improvements in 2006-2007. The building's maintenance record shows a pattern of addressing both routine maintenance and emergency repairs, with most violations being resolved within reasonable timeframes. A false fire alarm incident was recorded, but no civilian injuries were reported.

Risk rating

How 200-204 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

Out of 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 1327 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.

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.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 55.2%
Moderate concern 32.6%
Severe concern 12.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
