Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1228-1230 4th Avenue in the Inner Sunset, owned by the Mogannam Family 2012 Trust, was constructed in 1907 as a two-story flats and duplex structure. The property has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, including a comprehensive renovation of Unit #1230 in 2015 that included updates to the kitchen, bathroom, dining, and living areas, along with electrical rewiring of multiple rooms, furnace replacement, and plumbing modifications including water heater relocation to the garage. The most recent major maintenance work was completed in 2018 with a roof replacement valued at $31,800, following an earlier roofing project from 1992.

The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep of essential systems, with no recorded safety violations or major structural issues. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to external maintenance matters, including tree maintenance and parking enforcement issues. There have been three instances of driveway blocking by a red Honda Accord in late 2023 (December 20-21), and one similar incident involving a white Honda in April 2022, all of which were resolved through official enforcement action. Additional infrastructure maintenance was required for nearby street lighting in 2021, with two lights being repaired (one for flickering and one for being burnt out), and there are several open tree-related maintenance cases from 2021-2024 that are being addressed by city services.

Risk rating

How 1228-1230 4Th 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, 508 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 82.4%
Moderate concern 11.2%
Severe concern 6.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
