Initial analysis

The property at 1351 46th Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Outer Sunset neighborhood. Built in 1907 and owned by Simon N. Porshnikoff, this duplex has experienced several notable issues and maintenance events in recent years. Most significantly, in January 2023, there were serious plumbing issues reported by a tenant involving sewage backup through the kitchen sink, allegedly related to tree roots in the sewer pipe, which prompted multiple complaints and communications issues with management. The property faced multiple building violations filed in September 2022, including problems with weatherproofing, rodent infestation, inadequate lighting, damaged ceilings, and fire safety concerns, all of which were marked as abated by November 2024. More recent work includes a complete reroofing project undertaken in March 2024 costing $17,500, and repairs to the west face of the building completed in the same month for $6,500, aimed at addressing various weatherproofing issues.

The building had several significant complaints documented in 2022-2023, including concerns about holes in the roof/attic, water leaks, deteriorated siding, and rodent problems. A plumbing permit for a fresh air vent installation was completed in 2013. Recent activity includes an active building complaint filed in February 2024 regarding a structure demolition without a permit. The property has also experienced recurring parking enforcement issues in the vicinity, with multiple citations issued for sidewalk parking violations between October 2022 and January 2024, though these are external to the building itself. The history of the property shows a pattern of maintenance issues and repairs, with the most recent work focusing on addressing weatherproofing and roofing concerns, though some historical violations and complaints indicate past challenges with building upkeep and resident communication.

Risk rating

How 1351 46Th 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.
