Initial analysis

The two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 1246 Funston Avenue in the Inner Sunset, owned by Richard L Flores, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1965. Most recently, in March 2022, the building received external maintenance with $14,000 worth of siding installation on the south wood wall. The building has a documented history of addressing wear and tear, including rot damage repair to the rear siding in 2012 ($5,500), a unit bathroom renovation in 2014 ($10,000) that involved installing a walk-in shower in Unit 3, and roofing work from 2000.

Of particular note, the building underwent a routine housing inspection in May 2011 that revealed multiple fire safety concerns, including issues with smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, and egress obstructions. These violations were all properly addressed and abated by June 28, 2011. The property has maintained compliance with housing codes since that inspection, with no active violations on record. The building has experienced minimal issues in recent years, with only a few minor incidents reported through 311 calls, primarily related to parking enforcement (including sidewalk parking in 2023 and driveway blocking in 2022) and occasional graffiti (noted in 2018 and 2020), all of which were resolved appropriately. Regular upkeep and proactive maintenance work suggest responsible property management, with the most recent significant exterior work completed being the 2022 siding installation.

Risk rating

How 1246 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.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 1060 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

Number of units

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

Neighborhood location

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