Initial analysis

The property at 1254-1256 34th Avenue in San Francisco's Central Sunset neighborhood is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1946, currently owned by the Miyako Yamamoto Trust. The building has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance work over the past few decades, with the most substantial improvements occurring in 2013 when comprehensive upgrades were made to unit 1254's ground floor, including the addition of a new laundry room, storage room, and furnace for a playroom, with corresponding electrical and plumbing work totaling approximately $20,000. More recent improvements include a bathroom and kitchen fixture replacement in 2017, and an attempted reroofing project in 2018 that was ultimately cancelled.

The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to basic infrastructure, with multiple reroofing projects documented in 1989, 2010, and 2018, though the most recent attempt in 2018 was cancelled. The property has experienced minimal significant issues, with only two notable incidents recorded through the 311 system: a sewage backup incident in 2011 and a streetlight flickering issue in 2013, neither of which appear to have been directly related to the building's internal systems. Earlier improvements from the 1980s include the installation of insulated windows and foundation work, demonstrating long-term investment in the building's structural integrity. The property's permit history reflects regular maintenance and modernization efforts, with particular attention paid to electrical systems, plumbing upgrades, and general improvements to resident amenities.

Risk rating

How 1254-1256 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
