Initial analysis

The property at 1259 47th Avenue in San Francisco's Outer Sunset district is a one-story, two-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1912, currently owned by Kassandra Nolan. The building's maintenance history shows two significant permit records: a reroofing project in 2014 valued at $4,000, and a sewer replacement completed in 2019, though both permits have since expired. The property has experienced multiple street-related issues in recent years, with three documented cases of driveway blocking between 2020 and 2024, all resulting in officers being unable to locate the offending vehicles. A noise complaint related to entertainment was filed in 2021 but the source could not be determined. Street maintenance matters have included a lighting issue in 2019 that was promptly resolved by PG&E within four days, and more recently, there is an open case as of June 2024 regarding pavement defects in the vicinity. The property has also faced general street and sidewalk cleaning needs, with the most recent complaint about loose garbage being addressed in August 2023. While the building has received some necessary infrastructure upgrades in recent years, the pattern of driveway access issues and various street maintenance concerns suggests ongoing challenges with the immediate neighborhood infrastructure.

Risk rating

How 1259 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.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 632 buildings in this neighborhood, 259 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.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building age

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

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 61.0%
Moderate concern 30.5%
Severe concern 8.6%
