Initial analysis

The property at 1287 38th Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Outer Sunset neighborhood. Built in 1947 and currently owned by Ludmila M Litvinoff 2015 Re, this flats and duplex-style building has a relatively simple maintenance and incident history. The most recent building permit on record from February 2019 was for street space work valued at $1.00, though the specific nature of this permit remains unclear. A reroofing project was completed in December 1991, representing one of the few major maintenance works documented.

The building's external environment has experienced several minor infrastructure issues over the years, with three documented incidents between 2014 and 2020. These included a flickering street light on a wooden pole in October 2014 (resolved within two days), a pavement defect reported to PUC Sewer Operations in August 2016 (which was subsequently resolved), and an illegal parking incident involving a Suzuki vehicle in June 2020 (which was addressed by responding police officers). While these incidents indicate typical urban infrastructure challenges, none appear to have impacted the building's structural integrity or resident safety directly.

Risk rating

How 1287 38Th 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.
