Initial analysis

Situated in San Francisco's Outer Sunset neighborhood, this 2-unit multi-family residential building was constructed in 1928 and is currently owned by the Lee Family Trust. The single-story flats/duplex structure experienced significant maintenance issues in 2019, when multiple violations were documented regarding peeling paint and lead hazard concerns. The complaints, filed on March 18, 2019, noted that chipping paint was affecting neighboring properties and a fence was in a state of disrepair. These violations triggered compliance requirements under the San Francisco lead ordinance, necessitating interior and exterior painting work. The property owner promptly addressed these violations by completing a $12,000 repair project in April 2019, which involved new siding and painting at the rear of the building, work that was not visible from the street. All lead-related violations were officially abated by June 26, 2019. The building's record shows one other permit from 1983, though it expired without any documented work completion. More recently, in August 2021, there was a municipal service request regarding a faded street cleaning sign, which was promptly addressed and resolved by the Department of Public Transportation Sign Shop.

Risk rating

How 1254 44Th 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
