Initial analysis

The property at 1212 Funston Avenue in the Inner Sunset is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1938, currently owned by Karen Praszker. The building has undergone several significant improvements in recent months, with major renovation work completed in early 2024 including a kitchen and bathroom remodel on the third floor (though the building is officially classified as two-story) costing approximately $64,315, along with associated plumbing and electrical upgrades. These recent renovations included in-kind replacements of fixtures and systems, with the plumbing work specifically involving a new shower pan installation and the electrical work encompassing new plugs, lights, and switches. The building's maintenance history shows attention to structural elements, with a reroofing project completed in 2018 at a cost of $9,500, and deck repairs conducted in 1997.

The property has experienced recurring issues with parking enforcement, particularly concerning driveway blocking, with seven documented incidents between 2021 and 2024, resulting in several citations being issued. Recent municipal service calls have addressed various street and sidewalk maintenance matters, including garbage and debris removal. The most recent building improvements suggest active property maintenance, though the frequency of parking violations in the vicinity may indicate ongoing challenges with access to the property. The recent renovation work, performed through properly permitted channels, appears to demonstrate compliance with current building codes and standards, though the mention of dry rot repair in the shower during the 2024 renovations could warrant attention to moisture and maintenance considerations in the updated facilities.

Risk rating

How 1212-1214 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
96th percentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 60 are predicted to be safer.
