Initial analysis

The property at 1648-1650 Great Highway in San Francisco's Outer Sunset neighborhood, owned by Elizabeth Carman, is a two-dwelling parcel that has undergone significant recent renovation and maintenance work. Most notably, between 2021 and 2024, the building has received comprehensive updates including a new foundation, interior walls, windows, roof structure, and complete plumbing and electrical systems overhaul. Recent improvements, completed in 2024, include installation of a new radiant heat system with combination boiler, shower pan liner, and complete rewiring of the two-bedroom home with extensive electrical fixture upgrades. The property has also received proper maintenance attention with a substantial $57,413 re-roofing project completed in early 2024.

The building's history includes several significant permits from 2000 onwards, such as attempts at lateral expansion and various renovation projects, some of which were cancelled or expired. Historical electrical work from 2003 shows efforts to correct illegal wiring and complete a rewiring project, indicating attention to safety concerns. The property has experienced some external maintenance challenges in recent months, with multiple reports of garbage and debris requiring city intervention through 311 calls, though most of these cases have been resolved. Currently, there are two open cases in the vicinity: one regarding a damaged tree (May 2024) and another concerning damaged benches on the sidewalk (February 2024). The extensive recent renovations and modernization work suggest a significant investment in improving the property's condition and safety systems, bringing it up to current standards and address past deficiencies.

Risk rating

How 1648-1650 Great Hwy'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 632 buildings in this neighborhood, 329 are predicted to be safer.
