Initial analysis

The Gao Family Living Trust owns this two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood. Built in 1924, the property has undergone several improvements over the years to maintain and upgrade its features. Most notably, in December 2021, nine front-facing windows were replaced with custom Jeld-Wen wood windows featuring integrated ogee lugs, meeting modern efficiency standards with a maximum U-factor of 0.30. Other significant maintenance work includes a complete reroofing project completed in 1991, and an effort to upgrade the heating system in 2009 with the installation of two new furnaces and ductwork, though this permit has since expired.

The building has experienced recurring issues with parking violations in recent years, particularly between 2021 and 2022, with four documented incidents of vehicles blocking driveways or parking on sidewalks, all of which were resolved through standard parking enforcement procedures. These incidents, while not directly related to the building's structural or maintenance conditions, may reflect on the surrounding environment. The property's documented history shows regular maintenance and upgrading of essential features, particularly focusing on energy efficiency improvements in recent years.

Risk rating

How 1422-1424 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

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 343 are predicted to be safer.
