Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1291-1293 34th Avenue in the Central Sunset neighborhood, owned by Wong Man Kwong & Liu Bing, has undergone several significant improvements in late 2023, including reroofing work costing $8,000 and replacement of back and side siding costing $4,000. The building, constructed in 1944 as a two-story flats and duplex structure, has a documented history of maintenance and improvements, with the most recent electrical upgrades completed in December 2003 that included extensive installations of lights, switches, outlets, and safety equipment. Historical records show previous reroofing work was done in 1990, and a substantial electrical renovation in 2003 was completed though initially expired.

The property has experienced various maintenance and safety issues over the years, including a combustible materials violation in 2005 that was resolved in 2015. The surrounding area has seen multiple reports through the 311 system between 2016 and 2023, primarily related to street cleaning issues, parking violations (including sidewalk blocking), and occasional graffiti on street poles. The most recent complaints include garbage management issues and toters being left out continuously, both of which were resolved. While there have been various parking enforcement matters in the vicinity, including citations issued for vehicles blocking driveways and sidewalk parking, these are primarily neighborhood issues rather than building-specific concerns. The building's recent maintenance work in 2023 suggests active management of the property's infrastructure, with regular attention to major systems such as roofing and exterior maintenance.

Risk rating

How 1291-1293 34Th 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
77th percentile

Out of 814 buildings in this neighborhood, 187 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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Neighborhood location

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

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 87.1%
Moderate concern 10.1%
Severe concern 2.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
