Initial analysis

This two-unit residential building, located at 1282 48th Avenue in San Francisco's Outer Sunset neighborhood, was constructed in 1959 and is currently owned by the Henry & Wah Hsung Yee Trust. The two-story flats and duplex structure has undergone several notable changes and faced various maintenance issues over the years. Most recently, in July 2024, there was a proposed building permit to convert the garage level into an ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) featuring two bedrooms, a kitchen, a dining room, and a full bath, though this permit was still in the "Triage" status as of the last update.

The property has experienced a few maintenance and compliance issues over the past decade, including a missing side sewer vent cover in July 2019, which was resolved by the Department of Public Works through normal channels, and a case of garbage toters being left out continuously in September 2016, which required outreach and enforcement intervention. An abandoned trailer was reported near the property in December 2013, but it was gone upon arrival of the authorities. Of particular note is a tenant buyout that occurred in June 2022, involving two tenants and totaling $20,000, which may indicate a significant change in the property's tenancy composition.

Risk rating

How 1282 48Th 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.
