Initial analysis

The property at 1262-1264 5th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building owned by Albert B & Cheryl R Minviel, constructed in 1908. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past three decades, with the most substantial renovations occurring between 2014-2015, including a major interior remodel valued at $125,000 that encompassed the kitchen, bathroom, and installation of a connecting stair between floors. This period also saw the replacement of the rear windows and door with updated egress-compliant materials, electrical system upgrades including a new sub-panel, and plumbing improvements for ground floor facilities. Earlier structural work included foundation repairs in 2009 ($25,000), voluntary strengthening upgrades in 1990, and reroofing in 1998.

The property has experienced recurring issues with vehicles obstructing the driveway and sidewalk in recent years, with the most recent incident occurring in April 2024. While these parking-related incidents have been addressed through enforcement measures, they remain a pattern in the building's recent history. Other notable exterior maintenance matters include a street space permit from 2012 and a resolved sidewalk blockage due to construction materials in 2015, which was promptly addressed. The building's permit history demonstrates ongoing maintenance and improvements, with all major renovation work from 2014-2015 receiving proper inspections and approvals, though some permits from 2012 and 2015 did expire or required subsequent corrections to address address discrepancies.

Risk rating

How 1262-1264 5Th 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, 523 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 81.0%
Moderate concern 12.6%
Severe concern 6.4%
