Initial analysis

The property at 1405-1407 38th Avenue in San Francisco's Outer Sunset neighborhood is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1957 and currently owned by Astrid Rehemets. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and safety upgrades over the years, with the most recent major work occurring in 2021 when both units received new electrical fuse boxes, including a replacement of the main service box. In 2007, the building received a new roof costing approximately $8,980, along with the replacement of two water heaters. Historical records show earlier maintenance work including the installation of three aluminum windows in 1991 (permit expired) and replacement of rotten decking in 1990 (completed).

The property has experienced multiple parking enforcement issues in recent months, with a notable pattern of sidewalk parking violations occurring throughout 2024, resulting in several citations being issued between April and July 2024. There was also one water-related incident reported in July 2024, though the nature and source of the water issue remained unclear according to the response notes. Additionally, in January 2024, there was a general request for Rent Board fee and housing inventory service that was promptly addressed with forms being mailed out. The building's maintenance record suggests regular upkeep of essential systems, with particular attention paid to electrical systems and water heating infrastructure, though the concentration of recent parking violations in the vicinity may indicate ongoing challenges with parking enforcement in the area.

Risk rating

How 1405-1407 38Th 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.
