Initial analysis

The 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1690 Funston Ave in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood, constructed in 1953 and currently owned by Dennis Lappos, has undergone several significant recent improvements with a focus on safety and infrastructure. Most notably, in 2024, the building received a complete upgrade to its fire alarm system (costing $30,852), including new low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas to comply with updated fire safety requirements. The property has also recently undergone roofing work (completed in September 2024 at a cost of $18,000). Historical maintenance records show attention to roofing issues dating back to 1989, with multiple reroofing projects having been completed.

The building experienced a cluster of violations in late 2001 that were addressed by March 2002, including issues with heating systems, fire safety equipment, electrical conduits, and unsafe exterior stairs, though all these were resolved within a reasonable timeframe. More recent complaints include routine inspections in 2022 and reports of paint maintenance issues in 2013, which was noted as a concern during the 2022 routine inspection. A minor electrical wiring issue was recorded as a fire incident, though interestingly, there have been no reported civilian injuries associated with any fire incidents. The property has had multiple parking-related service calls in 2024, primarily concerning abandoned vehicles and driveway blockages, indicating ongoing challenges with street parking in the area.

Risk rating

How 1690 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
