Initial analysis

1946 Quesada Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1928, currently owned by Miron M Jr Pavdun. The property has undergone significant renovations and repairs in recent years, most notably following substantial fire damage in 2016 that required two major permitted repairs costing a total of $170,000. These repairs included replacing the interior stair, infill lightwell, reframing fire-damaged walls on the second floor, and comprehensive electrical and plumbing work. The building also underwent unit legalization in 2016 to officially recognize the ground floor kitchen, along with various kitchen and bathroom remodels on both floors between 2016-2017, including electrical upgrades with the installation of multiple modern fixtures and appliances.

More recent history shows several maintenance and infrastructure issues, including a sewage backup incident in December 2024 and multiple reports of sidewalk parking violations between November 2024 and January 2025, with at least two resulting in citations. There were construction noise complaints from a resident in 2019 regarding early morning work, though this complaint is no longer active. The property has maintained compliance with building codes since the major repairs in 2016, with no recent violations or complaints related to fire safety or combustible materials. Historical records show minor issues such as weed violations in 2018 and a resolved violation in 2018 at the neighboring address (1948 Quesada Ave) regarding unpermitted work, though this was abated. The building's recent permit history suggests ongoing maintenance and upgrading of the property's systems, though some permits from 2016-2017 are listed as expired, which could indicate they were not completed or properly closed out in the system.

Risk rating

How 1946 Quesada 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

Out of 71 buildings in this neighborhood, 34 are predicted to be safer.
