Initial analysis

460 South Van Ness Avenue is a three-story, 18-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1926, currently owned by Tim Carrico 2020 Revoc Tr. The building has undergone numerous renovations over the years, with recent significant work including a $62,000 kitchen and bathroom remodel in Unit #11 (2024), completion of previously approved soft-story retrofit work (2022), and multiple unit renovations between 2012-2017 encompassing kitchen and bathroom updates, electrical rewiring, and plumbing improvements. The building's soft-story retrofit program was completed with a Certificate of Final Completion issued, though there was a period of non-compliance that resulted in a violation notice in October 2022, which was eventually resolved by February 2024.

The property has experienced various maintenance and habitability issues over the past decade, including multiple complaints in 2015 regarding heat, bed bugs, flooring, and paint concerns, as well as a fire safety inspection in 2011 that identified damaged fireproofing in the garage. Recent fire safety violations from December 2023 regarding sleeping area requirements remain open but were noted as "Condition Corrected" as of December 2024. The building underwent a rooftop replacement in 2009, and subsequent improvements have focused on individual unit renovations and systems upgrades. Recent activity at the property has primarily involved routine maintenance and response to resident concerns, with multiple parking enforcement calls in late 2024 regarding driveway blocking issues.

Risk rating

How 460 South Van Ness 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.
