Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1246-1248 34th Avenue in the Central Sunset neighborhood, owned by the Kenny Ng Rev Living Trust, is a two-story TIC building constructed in 1948. The property underwent significant renovations in 2017-2018, including comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodels, electrical panel upgrades, window and door replacements, and garage fire separation improvements at a cost of over $166,000. These improvements also included heating system updates with new furnaces and ductwork, plumbing fixture replacements throughout both units, and various electrical upgrades including a 200-amp service upgrade. Prior to these improvements, the building experienced several notable issues, including multiple heating system complaints and violations in late 2013 regarding inadequate heat and combustible storage concerns, which were resolved by March 2014. There was also a significant complaint in 2015 regarding non-code wiring and plumbing in the garage, though this issue is listed as not active.

The building's maintenance history reveals attention to critical infrastructure, with water service upgrades and copper pipe replacement work completed in 2016, though some permits have expired without confirmation of completion. A termite repair permit from 1986 is also on record. More recent activity at the property has primarily consisted of normal city service requests and parking-related issues, with no significant building violations or maintenance complaints recorded since the 2017 renovations. The most recent maintenance-related 311 calls have been for street pavement issues and parking concerns, which are typical for the area and not directly related to building conditions. The property's unit configuration remains confirmed as two units, and there are no records of tenant buyouts or additional unauthorized units in the building since the 2015 complaint was addressed.

Risk rating

How 1246-1248 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.
