Initial analysis

The property at 1354 47th Avenue in the Outer Sunset neighborhood is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Stanislaw & Grace Kosinski. The building's maintenance history reveals some significant concerns, most notably a serious incident in July 2012 involving buckling sub-floors, water-damaged living room walls, and damp carpeting, though this complaint was listed as abated within five days of filing. Historical records show dry rot and termite repairs were undertaken in 1997, though that permit has since expired.

The property and surrounding area have experienced recurring parking-related issues, with three documented incidents of driveway blocking in 2023-2024, including two cases where citations were issued. There have been several street maintenance and public safety concerns in the vicinity, including a hazardous materials incident involving glass (October 2023), an encampment that required cleanup (January 2020), and a general sanitation issue involving loose garbage (April 2016). Additionally, a planning record from 2010 indicates the property's frontage was repaved without proper plantings or permeable pavement as required by the SF Green Landscape Ordinance, though this was ultimately closed with "No Violation" status. While the building has reached an age of 123 years, the most recent structural issues appear to have been resolved promptly, though the expired nature of the 1997 termite repair permit warrants attention in terms of current pest management practices.

Risk rating

How 1354 47Th 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

Out of 632 buildings in this neighborhood, 562 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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 34.9%
Moderate concern 53.5%
Severe concern 11.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
