Initial analysis

The property at 1371 46th Avenue in San Francisco's Outer Sunset neighborhood is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1907 and currently owned by the Wai & Shu Ho 2015 Family Trust. The building's permitted improvements are relatively minimal and date back several decades, including a slab and driveway installation in 1988, reroofing work in 1993, and what appears to be horizontal work in 1995, all of which were completed successfully.

In recent months, the property has experienced recurring issues with garbage and debris in the vicinity, particularly during October 2024 when there were multiple reports (at least eight) of various types of waste, including yard waste, loose garbage, and abandoned items. Most of these cases were resolved, though one resulting from the inspection on October 4, 2024 required no work. Additionally, there is currently an open case from October 2024 regarding a sidewalk defect involving a lifted section of pavement. Parking enforcement was required in December 2024 for a blocked driveway situation, which was resolved through the proper channels. Historical records show two tenant buyouts at the neighboring address of 1373 46th Avenue in late 2021, one for $7,500 and another for $10,000, both involving a single tenant. The property has had no recorded fire incidents or serious safety concerns directly affecting the building, though a "good intent" fire call was logged with no civilian injuries.

Risk rating

How 1371 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.

Neighborhood percentile
57th percentile

Out of 632 buildings in this neighborhood, 272 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.

Neighborhood location

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

Building age

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

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 44.7%
Moderate concern 23.2%
Severe concern 32.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
