Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1262 48th Avenue in San Francisco's Outer Sunset neighborhood has undergone several significant improvements since it was built in 1989. Most recently, the property has seen substantial solar energy upgrades, with three solar PV system permits issued or completed in 2023-2024, each for a 6.4kW system featuring 16 modules of 400 watts each. The building has also received considerable interior improvements, including a $60,000 bathroom remodel in 2022 that updated both guest and master bathrooms, and a kitchen remodeling project in 2023 valued at nearly $48,000.

The building's history includes some maintenance challenges, particularly a water damage incident in 1997 involving mold and possible wood rot in the in-law unit, though this complaint was promptly addressed within five days. While the property has a documented history of improvements and modernization efforts, including the recent solar installations, it's worth noting that one of the plumbing permits related to the 2023 kitchen remodel has expired. The building's location has experienced typical urban issues as evidenced by a 2017 noise complaint regarding amplified sound, which was resolved, and a recent encampment-related call in 2024 that was also resolved. The property's maintenance record shows ongoing investment in infrastructure and comfort, with recent works focusing on sustainability through solar installation and modernization of living spaces.

Risk rating

How 1262 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.
