Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building located at 1242-1244 25th Avenue in San Francisco's Central Sunset neighborhood is a two-story flats/duplex structure built in 1914, currently owned by Roger Wong's 2012 Living Trust. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past decades, with the most substantial recent work occurring in 2004, including a comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodel valued at $11,000, featuring new electrical components such as 13 lights, 7 switches, and 14 receptacles. Prior to this, structural modifications were attempted in 2003 with plans to remove non-bearing walls and replace wood posts with steel in the garage. The building has received regular maintenance attention, including terrazzo stair step repairs in 2002, a downstairs unit remodel in 1995, and various structural improvements in the late '80s.

More recent history of the property has been marked by multiple 311 calls regarding parking violations and waste management issues between 2023 and 2024. There have been seven reports of illegal parking or sidewalk blockages, primarily involving various SUVs, with several resulting in citations. Additionally, there were three complaints about waste receptacles (toters) being left out continuously, particularly noted in June 2023, though one of these cases resulted in outreach and enforcement action being initiated. A more recent complaint from December 2024 regarding a "Department not found" issue is currently marked as accepted. While these recent issues do not directly pertain to the building's structural or safety conditions, they do reflect ongoing neighborhood management concerns.

Risk rating

How 1242-1244 25Th 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
39th percentile

Out of 814 buildings in this neighborhood, 497 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.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Neighborhood location

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

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 75.0%
Moderate concern 19.2%
Severe concern 5.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
