Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 886 45th Avenue in the Outer Richmond neighborhood, owned by Simon Lilianti, was constructed in 1948 and is classified as a two-story flats and duplex structure. The building's maintenance history includes three significant roofing projects: a completed reroofing in 1992, another in 2013 costing $8,500, and a notable renovation in 1998 that involved the installation of new fire-rated walls for a playroom, half bath, and storage room.

Recent issues affecting the property and its surroundings include a sewage vent problem in June 2022, which was resolved by PUC Sewer Operations, and two overgrown tree complaints (April 2022 and December 2023), with the latter resulting in a city determination that while the tree could safely touch low voltage communication lines, its removal was not recommended under the city's preservation policy. The property has experienced recurring parking enforcement challenges, with multiple reports of sidewalk parking violations in 2019-2020, though in many cases officers were unable to validate the reports or locate the offending vehicles. Additional incidents worth noting include a water leak (October 2019, which was deemed invalid due to insufficient information), problems with garbage receptacle management (February 2020), and reports of trash dumping in a nearby park area (October 2019). While these issues have generally been resolved, they reflect ongoing community maintenance and enforcement challenges in the building's immediate vicinity.

Risk rating

How 886 45Th 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
60th percentile

Out of 1040 buildings in this neighborhood, 416 are predicted to be safer.
