Initial analysis

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 1264 2nd Avenue in the Inner Sunset, owned by Mark W. Liu and Angela Y. Pi, was constructed in 1903 and has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance work over its lifetime. The most serious recent issues occurred in early 2016 when multiple violations were documented, including electrical problems (deteriorated wiring, exposed knob and tube wiring), plumbing issues (sink repairs needed), and lead paint hazards. These violations were officially abated by February 22, 2016, through permitted work that included plumbing and electrical repairs, along with various building improvements such as window trim replacement and addressing other maintenance items. The building has seen substantial improvements over the years, including a 2008 kitchen and bathroom remodel in unit #3 ($22,940), a reroofing project in 2008 ($18,600), and critical structural work in 1996 when foundation bolting and exterior wall improvements were completed.

The property has undergone regular maintenance and improvements, including stair replacement in 2012, though some permits show as expired (e.g., 2011 sewerline replacement). The building has been subject to routine housing inspections, with records indicating periodic checks in 1996, 1999, 2005, and 2010, generally showing normal oversight activity. More recent history shows typical urban issues such as parking enforcement calls and occasional noise complaints, with the most recent maintenance-related 311 calls in 2023-2024 being minor in nature (e.g., garbage debris). A fire safety complaint regarding combustible materials from 2008 was resolved promptly within three weeks. The property has maintained active responses to violations and repairs, with no active complaints or violations currently on record, though the extensive nature of the 2016 violations and subsequent remediations suggests a period requiring significant maintenance attention.

Risk rating

How 1264 2Nd 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, 1000 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

Building age

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 46.4%
Moderate concern 22.1%
Severe concern 31.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
