Initial analysis

The 4-unit multi-family residential building at 2215-2263 48th Avenue, owned by the Housing Authority of San Francisco, has undergone significant renovations and faced several maintenance challenges in recent years. Major rehabilitation work was completed in 2021-2022 across both the north and south buildings, with approximately $8.1 million invested in replacing windows and doors, roofing, exterior finishes, fixtures, appliances, and installing a new fire alarm system throughout 16 public housing townhomes. The fire alarm system upgrade, completed in 2022, included comprehensive safety improvements such as new smoke detectors, pull stations, and power supplies.

Recent maintenance issues have raised concerns about resident comfort and safety. Between 2024 and 2025, multiple complaints about hot water availability were reported, though many were marked as "Not Active" without clear resolution. An active complaint from December 2024 regarding water intrusion through the front door remains unresolved. The building has experienced recurring issues with fire safety compliance, as evidenced by recent violations in 2023 regarding sleeping area requirements and alarm system maintenance, though previous fire safety issues, including problems with extinguishers and blocked exits, were typically corrected or found to have no merit. Historical issues included rodent infestations and water damage concerns in 2017-2019, though these were eventually abated. The property has a relatively low frequency of fire-related incidents, with most documented responses being false alarms or routine service calls with no reported injuries. Recent 311 calls from 2024-2025 primarily relate to sidewalk maintenance and waste management issues outside the building.

Risk rating

How 2215-2263 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, 132 are predicted to be safer.
