Initial analysis

The property at 530-532 46th Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in the Outer Richmond neighborhood. Built in 1948 and currently owned by Fertig Asano Floy, this flats/duplex structure has undergone several significant modifications over the years. Most notably, there have been multiple attempts to convert a permitted penthouse space into a studio unit, with the most recent filed permit in February 2020. Previous attempts in October 2019 were withdrawn. This conversion process has included plans for adding NFPA13 sprinklers and egress improvements. The building has received consistent maintenance and improvements, including vinyl siding installation to the back wall in 2014, Hardi siding installation in 2011, window replacements in 2002, and reroofing in 2000. A significant illegal short-term rental incident was reported and resolved between 2015-2016.

Recent activity at the property has been primarily related to routine municipal services, with several 311 calls in 2024 regarding Christmas tree removal and parking issues. There were also reports of pavement defects in 2022 that affected the roadway, and an overgrown tree blocking the sidewalk that required pruning. Two tenant buyouts were recorded at the addresses, with payments of $130,000 to two tenants in February 2021, and $110,000 to two tenants in February 2022 for 532 46th Avenue, suggesting possible unit consolidation or change in occupancy status. A false fire alarm incident was recorded with no civilian injuries. The building's recent history shows active management and maintenance, though the multiple permit attempts for penthouse conversion suggest ongoing development efforts.

Risk rating

How 530-532 46Th 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

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 87.8%
Moderate concern 8.8%
Severe concern 3.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
