Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1252 Funston Avenue in the Inner Sunset, owned by C&c Hargens Llc and constructed in 1925, has undergone significant recent renovations totaling approximately $217,500 in improvements. Most notably, in late 2023, the property underwent extensive updates including window replacements for all floors (with separate permits for street-facing and non-street-facing windows), complete kitchen and bathroom remodels, addition of new bathroom facilities, kitchen modifications, and HVAC system installations. The building had several violations in March 2019 related to maintenance and safety issues, including rodent infestation, plumbing problems, and fire safety concerns, though all these violations were abated by April 2019. Earlier, in 1998, a reroofing project was completed, and more recent permits from 2024 indicate work on window replacements and reroofing.

The property has experienced recurring issues with driveway blocking, as evidenced by multiple parking enforcement calls between 2019 and 2024. There were also concerns about garbage and debris issues in 2024, and an active complaint from January 2025 regarding backyard construction remains unresolved as of now. Historical building complaints from 2019 documented various maintenance issues including chipping paint, plumbing problems, and concerns about lead paint, though these were resolved within approximately one month. The building's recent extensive renovations, including electrical upgrades to 200-amp panels, bathroom improvements, and window replacements, suggest substantial investment in improving the property, while the remaining active complaint about backyard construction and the recurring driveway access issues indicate ongoing concerns related to property access and maintenance.

Risk rating

How 1252 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.
