Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1246-1248 24th Avenue in Central Sunset, owned by Kam Tat & Oy Wah Lau Revoc, is a two-story flats and duplex structure constructed in 1938. The property underwent significant improvements in 2008, including the construction of two bedrooms, a laundry room, and a bathroom on the ground floor, along with comprehensive electrical upgrades consisting of a new 200-amp system with multiple panels, meters, lighting, and circuits. Additional infrastructure improvements during this period included the installation of new plumbing fixtures (toilet, lavatory, washer and dryer) and two new furnaces. Earlier renovations documented include reroofing work completed in 1999, and exterior maintenance including stucco repair and garage door replacement in 1989.

The property has experienced numerous parking-related issues in recent months, particularly between March and November 2024, with multiple documented cases of driveway blocking that resulted in citations. Specifically, there were seven documented cases of driveway blocking where citations were issued, one case involving an abandoned vehicle that was gone upon arrival, and two cases where officers responded but the vehicle was no longer present. The most recent documented parking enforcement actions occurred in November 2024, with at least one case involving a vehicle with an expired registration from 2022. While these parking issues are not directly related to the building's structural integrity or habitability, they represent a significant pattern of temporary access disruption to the property.

Risk rating

How 1246-1248 24Th 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
65th percentile

Out of 814 buildings in this neighborhood, 285 are predicted to be safer.
