Initial analysis

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 1378 45th Avenue in San Francisco's Outer Sunset neighborhood is a two-story structure built in 1977, currently owned by the Nu To Vong Revocable Trust. The property has had several notable incidents over the past five years, with the most recent being a fallen tree on December 14, 2024, which was promptly resolved by city services. The building has experienced recurring issues with parking enforcement, particularly in 2022, when there were multiple documented cases (March, February, September, and August) of vehicles blocking driveways, resulting in at least one citation being issued (for a Mini Cooper in September). A significant infrastructure issue was addressed in January 2021, involving damage to the metal curb and surrounding sidewalk near sunken SFWD utility vaults. Earlier incidents include a graffiti removal case in June 2018 and two vehicle-related issues in 2024, including a report of an abandoned SUV that was ultimately determined to have no merit, as the vehicle did not match the reported license plate, and an apparently unofficial unlicensed vehicle complaint that was closed without proper action. The building's maintenance and incident history suggests regular monitoring of both parking enforcement and street maintenance activities in the surrounding area, though most reported issues have been promptly addressed by the relevant city agencies.

Risk rating

How 1378 45Th 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
