Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1586-1588 Funston Avenue, located in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1946, currently owned by Phyllis Ruth Johnson. The property has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, most notably a comprehensive renovation completed in 2021-2022 comprising kitchen and bathroom upgrades including new cabinets, fixtures, countertops, and appliances, with associated electrical and plumbing work totaling approximately $65,000. The building received a new roof in 2018, with that project costing $14,950. A tenant buyout occurred in September 2021, resulting in the departure of two tenants for $40,000.

The property has experienced multiple sewer-related issues over the past few years, with three documented sewage backup incidents between 2020-2023, suggesting possible recurring plumbing challenges. More recent infrastructure concerns include two municipal service calls in 2024, one for a water main issue (closed) and another for pavement defects (open as of August 2024). Historical permit records show earlier roofing work was attempted in 1993 but the permit ultimately expired. The building's maintenance record indicates regular upkeep, particularly of bathrooms and kitchen facilities, though the frequency of sewer-related incidents may warrant attention. The property's location in the Inner Sunset neighborhood places it within a vibrant urban context, with amenities and services typical of the area.

Risk rating

How 1586-1588 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
99th percentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 15 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 89.1%
Moderate concern 8.5%
Severe concern 2.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
