Initial analysis

The property at 1227-1229 46th Avenue in San Francisco's Outer Sunset neighborhood is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1904, currently owned by Chanbanchong Saravut. The building underwent significant horizontal extension and interior remodeling work in 2004, including the addition of a two-car garage, with a permitted cost of $180,000. More recently, the property faced multiple violations in 2023 related to lead safety regulations, including problems with peeling paint and interior surfaces, though these issues were officially abated by December 20, 2023, following a final warning letter in October 2023. Historical records show various maintenance work, including reroofing in 2005, aluminum siding installation in the 1980s, and stair repairs with plumbing and electrical work in 1984.

The property has generated numerous parking-related complaints in the surrounding area between 2018 and 2024, with multiple citations issued for sidewalk parking violations, particularly involving a green Acura Integra. Between 2018 and 2019, there were at least eight documented instances of illegal parking, including blocking driveways and sidewalk parking. These enforcement actions were generally resolved through citations or warnings, with the most recent parking complaint occurring in October 2024. While these parking issues occurred in the vicinity of the building, they don't directly reflect on the property's condition or management.

Risk rating

How 1227-1229 46Th 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.
