Initial analysis

1710-1714 48th Avenue is a three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1926, currently owned by Matthew Stringer. The building has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, with the most recent work completed in April 2024 including a comprehensive kitchen remodel with new cabinets, fixtures, countertops, and plumbing updates to address code compliance issues. This follows a pattern of ongoing maintenance and upgrades, including dry rot repairs in 2017 (the building has a history of dry rot issues as evidenced by permits from 2014 and 2017), and various plumbing system improvements between 2012-2024.

The building has experienced several concerning incidents, particularly in 2017, when multiple housing code violations were recorded, including issues related to egress obstructions, fire safety compliance, and general sanitation. While many of these violations were marked as abated by October 2017, there remains one active case from 2017 regarding illegal short-term rental activities, including unauthorized construction and waste management concerns. More recent concerns have primarily involved noise complaints, with multiple reports of dog barking between October and November 2023. The property has also seen recent maintenance issues including garbage and debris problems, as indicated by 311 calls in 2024. Historical records show various improvements and repairs over the years, including a major renovation in 2004 involving kitchen and bathroom updates, and structural work on the rear deck and stairs in 2014. Fire safety has been a recurring concern, with documented violations related to blocked exits in 2017 and previous issues with fire extinguisher requirements. The building's history suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding moisture-related issues (as evidenced by multiple dry rot repairs) and fire safety compliance.

Risk rating

How 1710-1714 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.
