Initial analysis

1437 47th Avenue is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building located in the Outer Sunset neighborhood, owned by Yevgeny Lapchuk. Built in 1975, the property has undergone several significant renovations over the past two decades, with the most recent major work occurring between 2016-2018. This included comprehensive remodeling projects of bathrooms and kitchens in 2016 (valued at $41,160), followed by more extensive ground floor renovations in 2017-2018 that involved bathroom updates, bedroom modifications, and laundry area improvements (totaling $20,000). During this period, the building received numerous modern upgrades, including the installation of high-efficiency lighting, exhaust fans, new electrical fixtures, and GFCI outlets in the laundry area.

The property has a few notable historical issues, including a 2013 complaint regarding unauthorized remodeling work on the second floor kitchen and two bathrooms, which was promptly addressed within weeks. There have been some plumbing system challenges recorded in 2009, including a sewage backup incident, though these were resolved. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, including roofing work completed in 2002, and more recently, the replacement of a wall heater in 2018. A short-term rental violation was recorded in 2018, when neighborhood concerns were raised about unauthorized short-term rentals conducted by the Lapchuk family, though this issue appears to have been resolved with instructions to cease rental activity. The property's recent renovation history suggests active maintenance and upgrading of living spaces, though prospective tenants should note the building's past issues with unauthorized renovations and plumbing systems.

Risk rating

How 1437 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.
