Initial analysis

The four-unit multi-family residential building at 1355 48th Avenue in the Outer Sunset, owned by the Martha Fakhoury Living Trust, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1970. Most notably, there has been substantial recent window upgrading activity, with two separate window replacement projects completed between 2022 and 2023, involving a total of 18 window replacements with energy-efficient fiberglass and vinyl windows. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to essential systems, including a 2015 gas-efficient furnace installation and roofing work completed in 1990 and 2012.

The property has had some concerning incidents in its history, particularly a series of fire safety violations in 2002, including issues with combustible storage in the garage, fire proofing defects, and smoke detector requirements, though all of these violations were abated by October 2002. More recently, there was a hoarding-related complaint in 2019 involving animal waste, though this complaint is listed as not active. The building has experienced ongoing parking-related challenges, with multiple complaints about vehicles blocking driveways between 2022 and 2023, though most reported vehicles could not be located by responding officers. Two minor fire incidents were recorded, one involving electrical equipment and another involving contained trash, with no civilian injuries reported in either case. The property has maintained regular housing inspections, with the most recent window replacement work being properly permitted and completed according to local building codes.

Risk rating

How 1355 48Th 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, 480 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

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 23.8%
Moderate concern 16.9%
Severe concern 59.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
