Initial analysis

The property at 477-479 Burnett Avenue in Twin Peaks is a 2-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1965, currently owned by Najmi Bozorgi Living Trust. The building's history shows significant modifications and compliance efforts, most notably the contentious legalization of a third unit on the ground floor, which was built without proper permits. This process began in 2002 and included multiple permit applications and extensions, with the final permit (201104274920) issued in 2011 for completing work and obtaining final inspections, costing $50,000. Additional improvements include the addition of a half-bathroom in the basement (2007), comprehensive plumbing and electrical work for the bathroom installation (2008), and more recent electrical corrections in early 2024.

The building's record includes two notable complaints: one in 2013 regarding illegal units and construction (which is currently not active) and an earlier one in 1998 concerning various maintenance issues including a broken window and unsafe doorway (which was resolved in two months). Recent activity around the property has primarily consisted of external incidents including multiple reports of illegal parking (most recently in October 2024), graffiti (with an open case from April 2024), and abandoned vehicle reports (resolved in 2023). The property has undergone various improvements over the years, such as the attempted parking modifications in the 1980s and 1990s, though these permits were ultimately withdrawn or cancelled. A 2012 fire complaint regarding weeds and grass was promptly corrected the same day. The building's most recent permitting activity shows a focus on correcting administrative details, as seen in the January 2024 electrical permit amendment.

Risk rating

How 477-479 Burnett 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.
