Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2175 48th Avenue in the Outer Parkside neighborhood, owned by the Dubner Family/survivors Trust, has undergone several significant improvements and faced some notable challenges in recent years. Built in 1965, this two-story flats and duplex structure has seen recent attention to its exterior, with two completed projects in 2023: the installation of energy-efficient wood aluminum clad windows ($7,500) and replacement of cedar shingles with new cedar shingle panels on the top story's front and back, including window and door trim ($18,000). More concerning was a series of housing violations filed in April 2021 regarding inadequate heating and missing smoke/carbon monoxide alarm documentation, which were not resolved until March 2023, including a final warning letter issued in February 2022.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to structural elements, with previous work completed in the 1980s-1990s including concrete step replacements and proposals for ground floor additions (though one addition proposal was ultimately cancelled). The property has faced various challenges typical of the neighborhood, with multiple instances of graffiti reported in 2023, which require special attention due to pandemic-related enforcement backlogs. Other recent municipal interactions include sidewalk-related issues in 2020 involving possible sewer problems and lifted tree roots, as well as various maintenance matters such as illegal postings, hazardous materials, and debris, all of which have been resolved. The building's recent improvements (windows, shingles) demonstrate ongoing maintenance and upgrading of the property, though the heating and safety violations indicate there was a period of inadequate building systems that required attention before being brought into compliance in 2023.

Risk rating

How 2175 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.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 207 buildings in this neighborhood, 19 are predicted to be safer.
