Initial analysis

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 1314 47th Avenue in the Outer Sunset, currently owned by the Susan S Lau Trust, was constructed in 1952 and is classified as a single-story apartment building. The property has undergone three documented roofing projects over its lifetime, with the most recent completed in 2016 at a cost of $7,000, while earlier permits from 1998 had either expired or were not completed. Additionally, in 1983, the building received an upgrade with the installation of bronze windows.

The most pressing recent concerns for the property have been related to parking and sidewalk maintenance. From 2022 through 2024, there have been multiple incidents of vehicles blocking driveways or parking on sidewalks, with at least one citation issued to a violator in February 2024. The sidewalk condition has also been a documented issue, with a report of cracks received in August 2022 that required attention. Other maintenance matters have included the resolution of a collapsed sidewalk issue and various parking enforcement actions, with the most recent incident involving a tipped-over litter receptacle in June 2024. While these service requests have generally been resolved promptly through appropriate city departments, they indicate ongoing challenges with parking management and some infrastructure maintenance needs in the immediate vicinity of the building.

Risk rating

How 1314 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.
