Initial analysis

The property at 1526 Funston Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood. Built in 1956 and currently owned by the Cynthia J Joe Revocable Trust, this flats/duplex-style building has undergone only minimal documented improvements in recent decades, with the most significant being the 2016 replacement of four aluminum sliding windows at a cost of $4,000. Historical records show that termite repairs and reroofing work were attempted in 1995, though these permits have since expired.

The building's most pressing recent issues have primarily been related to street maintenance rather than building-specific concerns, with four pavement defect reports filed between March 2023 and June 2024, all of which were resolved. There have been multiple incidents involving city garbage bins, including four cases of overflowing garbage cans in 2022-2024 and one instance of improperly left toters in July 2022, all of which were resolved through city intervention. While these waste management issues are more reflective of neighborhood conditions rather than direct building problems, they do indicate some challenges with waste disposal practices in the vicinity. The building's overall maintenance record shows relatively few documented issues, with the most recent significant improvement being the 2016 window replacement, though it should be noted that some of the older permits from 1995 are now expired.

Risk rating

How 1526 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
