Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1270 48th Avenue in San Francisco's Outer Sunset neighborhood, owned by Marciano G. Jr. and Marsh Agbunag, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1959. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past decades, with particular attention to its rear staircase, which has been a recurring focus of repairs and replacements. Most recently, in November 2017, a $14,000 project was completed to remove and replace the rear staircase in-kind, following previous work in 1989 when repairs were made to the rear stairs, with an earlier permit from the same year having expired. The building's maintenance history also includes a reroofing project completed in 1997 and window improvements from 1985 involving the installation of aluminum frames.

The building's recent history includes a *December 2023* environmental health complaint filed with the Department of Public Health, which was closed and transferred to the Healthy Housing & Vector Control Program, and a *November 2019* noise complaint related to entertainment that was not scheduled for response due to being misrouted to the Entertainment Commission instead of SFPD. While the rear staircase work demonstrates ongoing maintenance attention to critical egress systems, the presence of both environmental health and noise complaints in recent years suggests some resident experience challenges, though the nature and impact of these issues are not specified in the records.

Risk rating

How 1270 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.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 632 buildings in this neighborhood, 246 are predicted to be safer.
