Initial analysis

The property at 1250 44th Avenue in San Francisco's Outer Sunset neighborhood is a one-story multi-family residential building (duplex/flats) constructed in 1928, currently owned by Stanley W. Ng and Lai-ching Chan. The building has undergone several documented improvements and maintenance work over the past three decades, including a horizontal addition in 1992 and structural repairs to the main entrance in 1993 involving stucco and wooden elements. Most notably, in 2019, the property was required to address a planning enforcement complaint regarding the conversion of the front yard from soil to concrete, resulting in a completed restoration of the landscape to comply with municipal regulations.

The property has experienced various municipal service calls primarily related to external maintenance and neighborhood issues. In recent years (2022-2024), there have been several parking-related incidents near the property, with at least two cases of vehicles blocking driveways or parking on sidewalks. Additional service calls include reports of sewer odors and overgrown trees in 2022, and graffiti in 2019, all of which were resolved through appropriate municipal channels. The building's historical permit and complaint records suggest regular maintenance and compliance with city requirements, with no recent reported safety concerns within the structure itself.

Risk rating

How 1250 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

Out of 632 buildings in this neighborhood, 228 are predicted to be safer.
