Initial analysis

The two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 1240 Funston Ave in the Inner Sunset, owned by Emanuel G Papadakis, was constructed in 1974 and has experienced several notable maintenance and health-related issues over its history. Most recently, in August 2024, there was a complaint regarding non-functional elevator access for disabled residents on the third floor, which remains a concerning accessibility issue. The building has undergone two reroofing projects, one in 2002 ($7,000) and a more recent one in 2011 ($14,980), indicating regular maintenance of major building systems. A significant health concern emerged in 2011 when multiple complaints were filed regarding mold in apartment #4, including specifically concerning a pregnant resident, though these complaints were marked as abated within weeks. The building has also experienced two sewer-related incidents, in 2008 and 2011, though these were resolved by the Public Utilities Commission Sewer Operations. In 2013, there was an installation of a water treatment system in the trash room, though this permit has since expired, and in 2014, work was initiated on electrical upgrades in unit D304, including a new subpanel and lighting system, though this permit was cancelled.

The building's history includes some fire safety violations in 2000, including issues with smoke enclosure door closers and egress obstructions, though these were promptly addressed within a day of being noticed. Regular routine safety inspections have been conducted over the years, with the most recent available being in 2011. A 311 call regarding abandoned furniture was logged in July 2024, though this was determined to be a private property issue. While the building has undergone periodic maintenance and inspections, the recent elevator access issue and historical mold concerns suggest ongoing challenges with building systems and resident comfort.

Risk rating

How 1240 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.
