Initial analysis

The property at 1462-1464 47th Avenue, owned by Cheng Va Say, is a two-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1964 in San Francisco's Outer Sunset neighborhood. The building's history reveals several significant issues between 2000-2001, including multiple building violations related to interior surfaces, fire safety, building systems, and unauthorized modifications, particularly concerning a storage room in the garage area. These violations, which were addressed and abated by December 2000, included concerns about damaged walls, egress obstructions, handrail repairs, window conditions, electrical issues, and combustible storage in the garage. The property also faced issues with window deterioration and illegal unit concerns during this period.

Recent improvements to the property show ongoing maintenance and upgrades, with two major works in 2024: the replacement of four front windows and electrical upgrades including removal of knob and tube wiring and installation of recessed lighting and subpanels. The windows project, valued at $25,000, appears to comply with modern standards, specifying materials such as wood, aluminum clad, or fiberglass. The building's maintenance record shows attention to both exterior and electrical systems, though there are some open infrastructure issues noted in recent 311 calls, including a sidewalk curb defect and a stop sign repair need from 2024. The property has also had several parking-related incidents recorded through 311, though these are generally routine enforcement matters.

Risk rating

How 1462-1464 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.
