Initial analysis

The property at 2394 48th Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Outer Parkside neighborhood. Built in 1949 and owned by Natalie E. Wallace, this flats and duplex structure has undergone significant recent improvements focused on building envelope and systems upgrades. In 2022, major exterior work was performed including the application of new stucco on three sides of the building and the replacement of 15 windows with energy-efficient Marvin Ultimate aluminum clad units, costing $70,000. More recently, in 2023, substantial electrical upgrades were completed including the installation of new 125-amp electrical services for both units and replacement of old knob-and-tube wiring, followed by a greentag inspection in April 2024.

The building's history includes a notable complaint in 2013 regarding unauthorized construction using permits from a different address, though this issue is no longer active. The property has experienced some recent maintenance and sanitation issues in the immediate vicinity, with multiple 311 calls between October 2024 and January 2025 reporting various types of street cleaning needs including abandoned furniture, shopping carts, and graffiti. However, most of these cases have been resolved through appropriate city services. The building's current status appears stable, with recent permits and inspections showing proper maintenance and upgrades to meet modern building standards.

Risk rating

How 2394 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.
