Initial analysis

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 1260 4th Avenue in the Inner Sunset, owned by Jue Family Trust and constructed in 1963, has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past few decades. The most recent major work was completed in late 2019 with the installation of fiber cement siding on the left side of the building, costing approximately $32,550. Earlier, in 2016, the building received window upgrades with the replacement of four front vinyl windows with Milgard fiberglass units. The property has a documented history of water-related issues, particularly between 2004-2007, when tenants reported leaks, water damage, and mold concerns, leading to multiple housing inspections and violations that were eventually abated. These violations included problems with interior surfaces such as damaged walls, ceilings, and floor coverings, as well as fire safety concerns regarding the central alarm system and egress obstruction.

The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep of essential systems, including roofing work in 1990 and 2009, and various window repairs. More recently, there have been several parking-related incidents recorded through 311 calls, primarily regarding vehicles blocking driveways, with the most recent occurring in January 2025. The property's maintenance record also includes routine housing inspections conducted in 1997, 1999, 2007, and 2009. Two significant environmental incidents were reported in 2022, including a sewage backup issue and the presence of hazardous materials (glass) on the property, both of which were resolved through appropriate channels. While the building has experienced various maintenance challenges over its history, the record shows that most issues have been addressed through proper channels, with the most recent major improvements focusing on exterior siding and window upgrades.

Risk rating

How 1260 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, 791 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 77.0%
Moderate concern 10.3%
Severe concern 12.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
