Initial analysis

The property at 2286 45th Avenue in San Francisco's Outer Parkside neighborhood is a three-story, two-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1925 and currently owned by Louis Caputo. The building has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, including a comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodel on the second floor in early 2013, which involved extensive electrical work (new lights, switches, outlets, and appliance installations) and plumbing updates. Prior to this, in 2012, the property underwent necessary infrastructure updates including the replacement of a 40-gallon water heater and a 200-amp meter main due to water damage. The front wood deck received repairs in 2013 to address dry rot issues.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to safety concerns, with two minor electrical incidents recorded by the fire department (one involving wiring/equipment problems and another related to an unintentional smoke detector activation), both of which resulted in no civilian injuries. Some regulatory compliance issues emerged in 2005-2006 regarding suspected illegal dwelling units, but these complaints were eventually resolved. More recently, in January 2025, there have been multiple reports of abandoned furniture and debris around the property, though these were addressed by city services. There is no record of any serious building violations or safety hazards in the past 10 years, and all recent permits have been properly completed and finalized. The property was at one point involved in a tenant buyout situation at a nearby address (2287 43rd Avenue) in 2015, where $45,000 was paid to three tenants.

Risk rating

How 2286 45Th 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, 66 are predicted to be safer.
