Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1356 Funston Avenue in the Inner Sunset neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1923, currently owned by Ivan Sapelnikov and K Lyfenko. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most substantial recent work being a comprehensive electrical upgrade in December 2019 that included rewiring of multiple living spaces, installation of approximately 25 outlets, and the addition of 28 recessed lights with a new 60-amp sub-panel. Prior structural improvements include a roof replacement completed in 1990 and work on the rear stairs and roof deck in 1995.

The building's maintenance history shows consistent attention to infrastructure, though recent months have revealed ongoing issues with pavement defects in the vicinity, with several calls to the Department of Public Works (DPW) regarding this issue from March 2023 through January 2024, most of which have been resolved or addressed. Other notable incidents in the surrounding area have included parking violations, with one case of sidewalk parking in May 2023 and a driveway blocking incident in August 2023, both of which were resolved through enforcement intervention. The property and its immediate surroundings have also seen attention to street cleanliness, with multiple reports of loose garbage being addressed by DPW, most recently in February 2023. The most recent open issues as of 2024 primarily relate to pavement conditions, while a landscaping maintenance request from July 2019 regarding tree weeding remains open.

Risk rating

How 1356 Funston 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
