Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 642-644 Funston Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood is a 2-story flats and duplex structure built in 1948, currently owned by the Robert Paul Field Revocable Trust. The property's maintenance history shows several significant infrastructure improvements, including a complete sewer replacement in 2012, an underground electrical conversion in 2003, and a reroofing project in 2000, though the latter permit has since expired.

Recent community issues near the property include a closed case in July 2024 involving human waste or urine, and an abandoned vehicle report from November 2023 that was impacted by temporary traffic control measures during the APEC conference. The building has experienced several infrastructure-related administrative matters, particularly in 2012, when multiple sidewalk defects were documented and subsequently resolved. The property had vegetation issues in 2013, with both trees and shrubbery causing visibility problems and sidewalk encroachments, though these were also addressed through proper channels. While there have been occasional reports of encampments and illegal parking in the vicinity between 2018 and 2024, these are community-wide issues rather than building-specific concerns. The building's documented improvements and repairs suggest regular maintenance of critical systems, though the age of some infrastructure (e.g., the 2000 roof work) may warrant attention to ensure continued system performance.

Risk rating

How 642-644 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.
