Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 480-482 Funston Ave in the Inner Richmond, owned by the Mitchell Fechheimer Trust, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1922. The property has undergone several significant renovations and improvements over the past decade, with the most recent major work completed in 2020-2021 including a comprehensive kitchen and bathroom renovation on the third floor, electrical rewiring, installation of a mini-split heat pump system, and updates to plumbing systems including water line and sewer lateral replacements. Prior to this, there was a notable incident in 2009 when a complaint was filed regarding unauthorized construction of additional rooms, bathroom, kitchen, and deck behind the garage, which was resolved by December 2009 through permit compliance involving kitchen and bathroom removal.

More recent maintenance records indicate ongoing attention to building systems, including a gas furnace replacement in garage space in early 2023. The property has encountered some external challenges in 2023-2024, particularly concerning sidewalk conditions, with multiple reports of collapsed sidewalk sections (most recently reported again in July 2024). There have been several parking enforcement issues documented through 311 calls, primarily related to blocked driveways, though these incidents appear to be generally resolved through enforcement response. A fire complaint from 2013 regarding combustible materials was promptly addressed and corrected on the same day. While the building's major systems have received regular updates and maintenance, the recurring sidewalk issues represent the most significant ongoing concern for the property.

Risk rating

How 480-482 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
