Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1262-1264 20th Avenue in the Central Sunset neighborhood is a 2-story flats & duplex structure built in 1922, currently owned by Kevin Wong. The property is undergoing significant recent renovations, with active permits issued in September 2023 for kitchen and bathroom remodeling work valued at $45,000, along with drywall demolition work. These improvements follow a pattern of maintenance and upgrades dating back to 2010-2013, during which electrical systems were enhanced with circuit upgrades and additional receptacles, and the first unit received plumbing improvements including a sink and countertop upgrade. The building was subject to a tenant buyout of $6,000 involving two tenants in October 2022.

The property has experienced recurring issues with parking enforcement, particularly regarding driveway blocking and sidewalk parking, with multiple complaints recorded between 2019 and 2024, though most were unable to be validated by responding officers. Other incidents include one report of non-offensive graffiti on private property in 2011 and a recent garbage/debris complaint in July 2024 related to abandoned furniture. While the building's recent major renovations suggest ongoing property maintenance, the history of parking violations in the vicinity may impact resident convenience.

Risk rating

How 1262-1264 20Th 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
