Initial analysis

The property at 1264-1268 12th Avenue is a 2-story, 3-unit multi-family residential building located in the Inner Sunset neighborhood, built in 1904 and currently owned by the Julie Jeffers Trust. The building has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, with the most recent being a kitchen remodel in July 2022 costing $13,000, following a similar renovation in April 2021 for $22,300. Between 2003-2004, the building faced structural and safety issues that were addressed, including repairs to dry-rotten stairs at the rear of the building ($5,000) and several building violations related to fire escape ladders, gas utility requirements, drainage pipes, smoke detectors, emergency exits, and an exposed wall in the backyard, all of which were abated by July 2003.

The building experienced a notable gas leak incident in November 2014 that required PG&E intervention and repairs to the gas line, followed by a gas line replacement in December 2016. More recently, in 2024, there was a complaint regarding lead paint scraping without proper containment, and in 2022, there was a complaint about construction occurring beyond normal work hours. The property has had various maintenance and compliance issues over its history, including plumbing violations, electrical work needs, and several 311 calls related to waste management and sidewalk conditions, with the most recent incident involving human or animal waste on the street/sidewalk reported in September 2023. While the building has had its share of violations and repair needs, most issues appear to have been addressed in a timely manner, with completed permits showing ongoing investment in maintaining and upgrading the property.

Risk rating

How 1264-1268 12Th 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.
