Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1460-1462 48th Avenue in San Francisco's Outer Sunset neighborhood, owned by the Totah-arechiga Family Trust, has undergone significant changes since its construction in 1907. The property experienced a major incident in December 2016 when a fire caused moderate damage to the ground floor commercial space (Your Market), necessitating comprehensive repairs and fire remediation work completed in 2017 at a cost of $125,000. The building underwent substantial renovations in 2017, including a $40,000 remodeling of the upper unit's bathroom and kitchen, installation of new heating systems, and electrical upgrades. Notable improvements included voluntary accessibility upgrades to the front entrance and structural improvements to the footing and slab. The property has had several maintenance and compliance issues historically, including multiple housing code violations in 2000 related to inadequate heating, window repairs, and sanitation concerns, though these were all abated by September 2000.

More recent concerns about the property's condition have emerged, particularly in late 2020, when complaints were filed regarding unpermitted construction work and electrical safety issues, though these complaints were marked as not active. The building's recent history shows regular maintenance and improvements, including multiple furnace installations and various permit applications for both residential and commercial spaces. The property has maintained active compliance with housing codes since the 2000 violations were resolved, with no active building violations on record as of now. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to street and sidewalk maintenance issues outside the building, rather than problems with the structure itself. The building's commercial space holds a Type 21 liquor license (grocery) that was approved in conjunction with the existing non-conforming grocery use, indicating current compliance with local business licensing requirements.

Risk rating

How 1460-1462 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.
