Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 706-708 46th Avenue in San Francisco's Outer Richmond neighborhood has a notable history of maintenance issues and violations, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in mid-2016. During this period, the property received multiple violations including plumbing issues, interior surface problems (including concerns about lead-based paint), electrical deficiencies, and a rodent infestation, all of which were eventually resolved by August 2016 through various repairs and installations totaling approximately $2,000. These repairs included window replacements, wall patching, kitchen sink repairs, bathroom toilet repairs, and electrical outlet installation in the laundry area. The building has undergone several renovations over the years, including multiple kitchen remodels in 1999 and 2002, a garage partitioning project in 1987, and an electrical service upgrade in 2013 with the installation of a 125 amp main service panel and 100 amp subpanel.

More recently, in July 2020, there was a complaint regarding an allegedly illegal apartment unit (708A) created in the garage, though this complaint is listed as not active. The property has also experienced recurring issues with vehicles blocking the driveway, with multiple enforcement actions taken from 2019 through 2024, suggesting ongoing parking challenges in the vicinity. Three fire-related incidents have been recorded, but all were non-fire related situations including false alarms and smoke detector activation with no injuries reported. The building's maintenance history shows periods of significant attention to both compliance issues and general improvements, though with some recurring maintenance concerns evident in the complaint records.

Risk rating

How 706-708 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.
