AI summary

The residential property at 610-612 Funston Avenue is a century-old two-unit building located in San Francisco's Inner Richmond district, currently owned by the Chen/li Family Trust. The two-story multi-family residential building, classified as Flats & Duplex, was constructed in 1916 and has undergone several significant improvements over its lifetime. Most notably, in 2003, the building received a substantial electrical upgrade with an underground service conversion to a 200-amp system with two meters, marking the most recent major infrastructure improvement. Earlier renovations include reroofing work completed in 1990, and two significant repairs from 1986 involving interior stair repairs and a basement remodeling project that added a family room and storage space.

The property has maintained compliance with city requirements, evidenced by various permits and the completion of necessary repairs. In recent years, there have been several maintenance issues primarily related to street and sidewalk conditions around the property, including two pavement defects (2014 and 2019), a sidewalk defect involving lifted sections (2012), and tree-related concerns in 2021 regarding root damage to the sidewalk and tree basin maintenance. Other municipal service calls have addressed routine urban maintenance matters such as sign repair, illegal postings, and street cleaning. The most recent building permit on record is from 2016 for street space work valued at $1, though the specific nature of this work is unclear from the available data.

Risk rating

How 610-612 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
53th percentile

Out of 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 810 are predicted to be safer.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)
