Initial analysis

The property at 1442-1446 48th Avenue in San Francisco's Outer Sunset neighborhood is a 2-story, 3-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Peter Y & Maggie L So Revocable Trust. The building has undergone several inspections and faced multiple violations over the years, with the most significant cluster of issues occurring in 2000 when multiple violations were documented under complaint #200008315, including fire safety concerns, sanitation issues, lead paint hazards, security deficiencies, and the need for gas utility safety improvements. All these violations were officially abated by October 10, 2000. In 2014, there was a complaint regarding unpermitted plumbing work and water heater installation, which was addressed by the Department of Building Inspection.

The building has a history of routine inspections in 2000, 2002, and 2004, all of which were completed and closed. More recently, there have been numerous reports of parking violations on the sidewalk near the property, with seven documented incidents between June 2024 and January 2025, though many of these could not be validated by responding officers. While these parking issues indicate ongoing concerns about parking enforcement in the vicinity, they are not directly related to the building's condition or habitability. The property appears to be current with its major building code requirements, with no active violations on record related to building safety or habitability.

Risk rating

How 1442-1446 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, 581 are predicted to be safer.
