Initial analysis

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 1258 11th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood is a two-story structure built in 1904, currently owned by the Richard S Mandel Living Trust. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, with significant work completed in 2009 when the roof was redone at a cost of $22,865, and structural improvements made in 2002 involving repairs to the front stairs and replaced rotten underpinning. A foundation improvement was completed in 1992, securing the mudsill to the concrete foundation with 5/8" diameter bolts, which enhances the building's structural integrity.

Recent activity around the property has primarily involved parking-related issues, with multiple instances of driveway blocking documented between 2022 and 2024. These incidents resulted in citations being issued, most notably for a silver Toyota Camry in December 2022 that was cited twice on the same day. There have also been two instances of abandoned vehicles reported near the property, though these were resolved quickly, including an incident in 2017 when a vehicle was gone upon arrival of the responding officers. Recent complaints have been minimal, with only one housing inspection services case filed in December 2024, though its current status is listed as not active and it may not warrant concerning implications. The property has experienced occasional issues with street cleanliness, including reports of garbage and debris (specifically a mattress) in September 2024, which was resolved by Recology. While these incidents suggest regular challenges with parking and street maintenance in the area, they primarily reflect neighborhood conditions rather than building-specific concerns.

Risk rating

How 1258 11Th 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, 567 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 81.5%
Moderate concern 12.7%
Severe concern 5.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
