Initial analysis

The property at 1298 Funston Avenue is a 2-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building with commercial space, constructed in 1924 and currently owned by Soo Survivor's Trust. The building has undergone several noteworthy improvements in recent years, most significantly in 2021 when interior renovations valued at $80,000 were proposed to add an ADA-compliant bathroom, update two powder rooms, and modify interior structures. In early 2020, the property completed work to comply with the Accessible Business Entrance Program, installing power door operators at both the main and store entrances, demonstrating a commitment to accessibility improvements.

The building has some concerning recent issues, with two active code enforcement complaints filed in June 2023 regarding the main building's commercial/business vacant status that remain open as of now. The property has experienced several incidents requiring attention to street conditions and environmental concerns in recent months, with multiple 311 calls in late 2024/early 2025 reporting garbage, debris, and abandoned furniture on or near the property, though most of these cases have been resolved. A planning application from 2019-2020 indicated intentions to combine and renovate adjacent commercial spaces (1148 and 1152 Irving Street) for general entertainment and office use, with a focus on community-oriented activities while ensuring soundproofing to minimize disturbance to residential units above. The building's inspection history shows routine apartment inspections were conducted in 1999 and 2002, with a cell site installation completed in 2009. While there was one fire-related complaint in 2009, it was found to have no merit.

Risk rating

How 1298 Funston 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.
