Initial analysis

The two-story multi-family residential building at 1219 47th Avenue in the Outer Sunset neighborhood, owned by Red Pier 47th Ave LLC, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety-related events since its construction in 1959. Most recently, in 2023-2024, the building underwent substantial electrical system upgrades, including the replacement of main circuit breaker disconnects for all four units, installation of new sub-panels, and various electrical improvements, demonstrating proactive maintenance of critical systems. The property has had several kitchen and bathroom updates, with the most recent occurring in 2020 on the second floor, along with plumbing improvements including shower valve replacements and laundry repairs.

Historical records show some concerning incidents between 2001-2011, including a carbon monoxide leak in 2008, mold issues, and multiple violations related to fire safety equipment and lead paint hazards on exterior walls. These issues appear to have been properly addressed and resolved. There were also complaints about unauthorized construction work in 2017 and exterior paint deterioration. The building has maintained active enforcement against parking violations, with numerous citations issued for blocked driveways between 2020-2024, suggesting ongoing challenges with parking management. Additionally, a recent submission concerning the property's driveway width indicates it exceeds the standard 10-foot maximum, measuring 17-18 feet according to Google Earth measurements, though this appears to be an administrative matter rather than a building safety concern.

Risk rating

How 1219 47Th 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.
