Initial analysis

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 48 Woodland Avenue, owned by the Linda L Koll Trust, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1906 in the Parnassus/Ashbury Heights neighborhood. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most recent major upgrade being the installation of an EV charger and main panel replacement in January 2024. Previous substantial renovations include a 200,000 USD upper floor extension with bathroom addition and kitchen remodeling (completed in 2000), a reroofing project (completed in 2001), and various interior improvements from the 1980s and 1990s including bathroom remodeling, termite repairs, and stair tread replacement.

The building's recent history shows some ongoing infrastructure concerns, particularly with a tree root issue affecting the sidewalk (reported June 2024) and multiple abandoned vehicle complaints on the street between late 2023 and early 2024, though most of these were resolved when officers arrived. There have been several parking enforcement calls regarding driveway blocking between 2022 and 2024, indicating potential ongoing challenges with street parking in the area. However, the property's interior maintenance and improvements appear to be regularly addressed, with no reported safety concerns or resident complaints on record.

Risk rating

How 48 Woodland 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

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 78.5%
Moderate concern 14.6%
Severe concern 6.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
