Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 453-455 44th Avenue in San Francisco's Outer Richmond neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1947, currently owned by Marco & Marie Di Gino Tr. The property has undergone significant maintenance work, most notably in late 2019 when approximately $52,000 was spent on window replacements and repairs for termite and dry rot damage on the left side of the building, as identified in a termite report from Golden Gate Termite Services. A crucial infrastructure improvement was completed in December 2024 with the replacement of the sewer line. Earlier building improvements include a 2003 permit for window replacement, though this permit eventually expired.

The building's recent history shows relatively routine maintenance and enforcement issues, with no major safety concerns reported. A series of 311 calls between 2017 and 2024 primarily involved parking violations, street cleaning requests, and minor infrastructure maintenance, such as a bent street sign in 2020. The most recent incidents involved typical urban maintenance matters including sidewalk parking enforcement (February 2024) and a general service request (November 2023). Historical records indicate attention to both residential and public space maintenance, with several resolved cases showing prompt response from city services. The building's permit and service request history suggests regular upkeep, with particular attention paid to window maintenance and structural integrity, though prospective tenants should note the property's previous termite and dry rot issues that required professional remediation.

Risk rating

How 453-455 44Th 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
62th percentile

Out of 1040 buildings in this neighborhood, 395 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.

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.

Notices of Violation, owner's portfolio

DBI NOVs across all buildings this owner is registered on — a signal of systemic maintenance issues across the portfolio.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 84.5%
Moderate concern 12.5%
Severe concern 3.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
