Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1206-1208 38th Avenue in San Francisco's Outer Sunset neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1945, currently owned by Mok King & Mee Yee Liu Revo. The building's maintenance history shows two reroofing projects were initiated in October 2004 at a cost of $6,500, though these permits have since expired. In June 2005, a significant electrical system upgrade was completed, including a 150-amp service upgrade with multiple feeders, circuits, and associated electrical components, which suggests an effort to modernize the building's infrastructure.

The property has experienced various maintenance and public safety issues in its vicinity over the past several years, with the most recent incidents occurring in 2022-2023 involving general street cleaning and an abandoned vehicle complaint. While these external issues do not directly impact the building's condition, they provide context about the neighborhood environment. Several tree-related concerns were documented between 2017-2021, including issues with overgrown and damaged trees, and sidewalk impact from tree roots. The property and its surroundings have seen periodic maintenance needs addressed by city services, including graffiti removal, sign repair, and various street maintenance issues. The relatively low number of building-specific complaints and the completion of major electrical improvements suggest that the building's core systems have received some attention, though the expired roof permits from 2004 raise questions about the current condition of that particular system.

Risk rating

How 1206-1208 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.
