Initial analysis

1446 Funston Avenue is a two-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood, owned by Roberto Tim-hung Leong Bypa. Built in 1947, this two-story flats and duplex structure has been the subject of numerous concerning events, particularly in recent years. Most significantly, in April 2023, serious code violations were documented regarding an unauthorized third dwelling unit created on the ground level, which was converted with an electric stove and kitchen sink. This unauthorized conversion has resulted in several critical safety and code compliance issues, including unapproved wiring and plumbing, lack of proper fire separation, inadequate emergency egress from sleeping quarters, and improper occupancy conditions. The building also experienced fire safety compliance issues in April 2023, including the need for appropriate fire extinguishers and documentation of carbon monoxide and smoke alarm systems, though these violations were marked as not active by June 2023.

Historically, the property underwent a legitimate modification in 1995 when a bedroom with bath was added to the existing ground floor at a cost of $15,000. The building experienced a graffiti incident in 2013, which was documented and resolved. Earlier reports from 2022 indicated concerns about access to a thermostat in what appeared to be an unauthorized unit, suggesting long-standing issues with unauthorized modifications. The most recent building permit on record is a street space permit from 2014 with minimal associated costs. Given the pattern of unauthorized modifications and safety violations, particularly the active complaints regarding unauthorized dwelling units and associated fire safety concerns, this property has exhibited significant regulatory compliance challenges that have persisted over multiple years.

Risk rating

How 1446 Funston 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
