Initial analysis

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 1574 48th Avenue in San Francisco's Outer Sunset neighborhood, owned by Hong Kuai Keong & Hung Yee, has a documented history dating back to its 1947 construction. The building has undergone several maintenance and repair projects over the years, including door replacements in 2010 and stair step repairs and window replacement in 2007. A significant complaint was filed in March 2014 regarding multiple issues including debris, screen damage, security concerns, and a mice infestation, though this complaint's status is listed as "Not Active." There was also a complaint in October 2007 related to back deck stairs and garage work, which remained open until April 2012. A horizontal addition permit filed in 1990 was never completed, as the permit expired.

The property has experienced numerous parking-related issues in the vicinity, particularly between January and August 2024, with multiple complaints about sidewalk parking and blocked driveways, though most of these cases were either unable to be validated or were resolved through enforcement action. Of particular note is an open complaint from June 2024 regarding a collapsed sidewalk. A tenant buyout incident was recorded for the neighboring property at 1575 47th Avenue in December 2017, involving four tenants and a payment of $44,000, though this is not directly related to the subject property. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep through permitted repairs, though the 2014 complaint regarding living conditions represents the most significant resident concern on record.

Risk rating

How 1574 48Th 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.
