Initial analysis

The two-story multi-family residential building at 1265 47th Avenue in the Outer Sunset, which was built in 1980 and consists of two units, has experienced various significant events over its history. The property has undergone some permit activity, including an attempt in 1985 to legalize an existing playroom and bathroom, though this permit eventually expired. Two other permits from the 1980s, one for compliance with a complaint and another for constructing a storage building, were cancelled.

In recent years, the building's location has been affected by multiple parking-related issues, with three sidewalk parking violations and three driveway blocking incidents reported between 2023 and 2024, all of which resulted in citations or enforcement action. There have also been two noise-related complaints in 2021 and 2023, one involving a mobile food facility in 2023 that was transferred to the Department of Public Health - Environmental Health Consumer Protection. A notable planning record from 2018 indicates a proposal to construct two two-story four-unit duplexes on a nearby vacant lot with parking spaces, though this appears to have been ultimately rejected as it is marked as "none" in the developer field.

Risk rating

How 1265 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
59th percentile

Out of 632 buildings in this neighborhood, 259 are predicted to be safer.
