Initial analysis

The property at 1254 45th Avenue in the Outer Sunset is a two-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1908, currently owned by Tal Mor Revoc Tr. The building's maintenance history shows several significant improvements, including a 2017 window upgrade project costing $14,579 that replaced 10 aluminum windows with wood-clad alternatives, though this permit has since expired. Historical records indicate earlier maintenance work including reroofing in 1995 and termite damage repairs completed in 1993. A building inspection complaint was filed in December 2022 regarding a potentially illegal accessory building, though this case is marked as not active.

Recent infrastructure concerns have emerged, particularly with a collapsed sidewalk reported in November 2023, which was noted as a neighborhood pattern issue. The property has experienced recurring parking enforcement issues, with multiple reports of driveway blocking between July and September 2023, including several instances where citations were issued. The area has also seen some environmental maintenance needs, with reports of garbage and debris in November 2024 and tree maintenance concerns raised in December 2024, both of which were resolved. While some of these issues are minor and have been addressed, the combination of historical termite damage, structural concerns (collapsed sidewalk), and recent parking enforcement problems suggest ongoing challenges related to the building's maintenance and neighborhood integration.

Risk rating

How 1254 45Th 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, 373 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 58.5%
Moderate concern 32.6%
Severe concern 8.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
