Initial analysis

The two-story, five-unit multi-family residential building at 2485 46th Avenue in the Outer Parkside neighborhood, owned by Cc Venture Capital, was constructed in 1959 and is classified as an apartment building with 5 to 14 units. The most pressing current concern is the pending mandatory soft-story retrofit, with a building permit filed in May 2024 still marked as active. Recently completed work includes a July 2024 permit for stucco removal and wood assessment/repair in the second-floor exterior hallway, completed at a cost of $6,000. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over its history, particularly during the 2001-2008 period, including multiple violations related to fire safety (fire escape ladder, fire extinguishers), plumbing systems (toilet, stove, towel bars), routine inspection access, and general maintenance (stairs landing repair). A notable incident in 2008 involved mold complaints and non-working fire alarms, while a 1998 complaint reported illegal occupancy of the garage level. There is one recorded fire incident relating to smoke detector malfunction with no civilian injuries. Recent months have seen multiple reports of garbage/debris issues and parking violations in the vicinity, though these are external to the building itself. The property's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing issues when required, with most historical violations having been resolved by their 2001-2008 completion dates.

Risk rating

How 2485 46Th 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, 141 are predicted to be safer.

Severe concern 39.3%
