Initial analysis

The property at 482 5th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Richmond district is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1901, currently owned by Matthew A and Jennifer C Matagr. Historical permit records show the building underwent significant improvements in 1999-2000, including work related to parking access with the installation of a curb cut, though other related permit applications from 1998 were withdrawn. Additionally, the building received a new roof in 1997.

Recent activities around the property from 2023-2024 suggest ongoing challenges with parking enforcement in the vicinity, particularly during May-June 2024, when multiple complaints were logged regarding illegal parking and driveway blocking. Eight separate parking-related incidents were reported between May 20 and June 11, 2024, involving various vehicles including Teslas, Audis, and Hondas, though in many cases the responding officers were unable to locate the offending vehicles. Two additional reports of illegal parking were filed in June 2024, and there was one report of an abandoned vehicle in August 2024. A street cleaning complaint regarding loose garbage was filed and resolved in May 2024. While these recent incidents suggest some challenges with parking management in the area, it's important to note that the building's structural and maintenance records indicate proper upkeep of the property's major systems in the late 1990s.

Risk rating

How 482 5Th 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, 844 are predicted to be safer.
