Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1460-1462 Shafter Avenue in the Bayview neighborhood is a century-old structure, built in 1917, and currently owned by Sheri Gaffney. The property has undergone some maintenance work over the years, including a roof replacement in 1996 and window installation in 1986, though these improvements are now considered dated. The building is currently facing several notable issues, with an active complaint regarding faded peeling paint filed in April 2024 and two unresolved noise complaints from July 2024. There has been a concerning pattern of waste management challenges in recent months, particularly in 2024, with multiple reports of garbage and debris (including furniture, mattresses, and other waste) recorded between July and October 2024, though most of these cases were resolved by the city. An investigation into blight conditions was conducted in January 2024 regarding visible trash on the property, which was quickly addressed.

The property's history shows one documented tenant buyout, occurring in February 2017 at 1461 Revere Avenue, valued at $20,000 for one tenant. The building's recent history (2024) suggests ongoing challenges with property maintenance and waste management, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls and building complaints, particularly during the summer and fall months of 2024. While some issues have been promptly resolved through appropriate channels, the frequency of reports indicates a pattern of maintenance and cleanliness challenges that could impact resident experience.

Risk rating

How 1460-1462 Shafter 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
52th percentile

Out of 382 buildings in this neighborhood, 183 are predicted to be safer.

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.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

DBI complaint rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building complaint rate across the owner's portfolio.

Building age

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 41.3%
Moderate concern 40.9%
Severe concern 17.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
