Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 646-648 Funston Avenue, located in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1948. Most notably, in October 2024, the property completed the installation of new Carrier furnaces and ductwork, replacing two old gravity furnaces and asbestos-containing ductwork, with an investment of $34,000 to improve heating efficiency. This HVAC upgrade was accompanied by related electrical and plumbing work. The building has also seen major maintenance and improvements over the years, including a sewer line repair in 2015, kitchen renovations in 2012 (including cabinet and appliance updates), and various plumbing modifications including gas line work. The property's electrical infrastructure was modernized through an underground conversion in 2003 and additional receptacle installations in 2012.

The surrounding area has experienced various maintenance and infrastructure issues, particularly regarding street trees. Three incidents between 2018 and 2021 were reported concerning tree root damage to sidewalks, with one case still listed as open in January 2028. There have been multiple parking-related complaints, including two reports of vehicles parking on sidewalks in 2022, though one was unable to be located. Recent infrastructure matters include a burnt-out streetlight in 2022 (which was repaired) and a damaged tree case in September 2024 that was cancelled. The building's maintenance record suggests regular upkeep of major systems, with no recorded safety violations or urgent repair needs in recent years.

Risk rating

How 646-648 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
97th percentile

Out of 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 52 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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

DBI complaints, owner's portfolio

Complaints across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 86.8%
Moderate concern 10.1%
Severe concern 3.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
