Initial analysis

The two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 1327 45th Avenue in the Outer Sunset, built in 1907, has undergone several significant maintenance and repair projects over the years, with the most substantial work occurring in 2017 when $64,000 was spent on exterior siding repairs and roofing improvements. The building has experienced recurring issues with its plumbing and sewer systems, as evidenced by multiple construction permits for water heater installations in 2010 and six documented sewer backup incidents between 2019 and 2024. A series of housing complaints from 2010 revealed various maintenance concerns, including problems with windows, hot water supply, and ceiling leaks in the laundry room, though these issues appear to have been resolved.

The building has a history of safety-related violations and complaints, particularly in 2000 and 2004, when inspectors noted concerns about lead paint hazards, interior surfaces, and fire safety equipment. More recent concerns include an active housing inspection from 2021 regarding common areas and a past complaint about multiple flammables stored in the garage. The property has undergone several major renovations, including bathroom and kitchen remodeling in the early 1990s and siding repairs in 2017. The water heater management situation, particularly concerning Unit 4 and the laundry facilities, generated multiple complaints in 2010, though this appears to have been addressed with the installation of new equipment. While the building has experienced periodic maintenance issues, most documented violations and complaints have been resolved through proper channels, with the exception of the currently active routine inspection from 2021.

Risk rating

How 1327 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
16th percentile

Out of 632 buildings in this neighborhood, 531 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.

Building age

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

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 27.3%
Moderate concern 37.3%
Severe concern 35.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
