Initial analysis

The property at 46-48 Rausch Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's South of Market neighborhood. Built in 1907 and currently owned by San Francisco Friends Meeting, the building has undergone several significant renovations, most notably in 2014 when a comprehensive second-floor unit remodel was completed at a cost of $160,000, including updates to the bathroom, kitchen, windows, and installation of new appliances. The building has experienced recurring fire safety concerns, with multiple violations recorded between 2019 and 2024, including issues with blocked exits, sprinkler systems, and extinguishers, though all were marked as "Condition Corrected" except for one citation for multiple fire code violations in 2020. A notable cluster of violations occurred in January 2017, when issues with carbon monoxide alarms, lighting, and damaged interior surfaces were documented and subsequently abated by March 2017.

More recent history shows ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding exterior cleanliness, with numerous reports of garbage and debris in late 2024, and two open cases regarding a missing side sewer vent cover from December 2024. The building's fire alarm system has experienced multiple false alarms, with several documented instances of smoke detector or system malfunction between 2019 and 2020, though no civilian injuries were reported in any incidents. The property underwent roof replacement work that was completed in 1996, and two street space permits were issued in 2018, suggesting limited recent exterior modification activity. While the building has maintained compliance with most regulatory requirements by addressing violations when cited, the recurring nature of some issues, particularly fire safety concerns and exterior maintenance, indicates ongoing operational challenges.

Risk rating

How 46-48 Rausch St'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.
