Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1468-1470 South Van Ness Avenue, located in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood, was constructed in 1900 and is currently owned by Derek Stavenger. Recent activity on the property has focused on obtaining final inspections for multiple completed projects from the mid-2000s, with several such permits issued and completed in December 2023, suggesting previous work had been substantially completed but required finalization. Noteworthy improvements include the installation of direct vent gas fireplaces in 2022, a gas houseline extension completed in 2011, and various electrical upgrades in 2008-2023, including kitchen and bathroom remodeling, garage improvements, and most recently, finish work inspection in July 2023.

The building underwent a condominium conversion process that was approved, along with a rear yard variance to construct a garage, reflecting significant improvements to the property. Historical electrical work documented substantial updates including the installation of numerous lighting fixtures, switches, receptacles, and circuits across various areas of the building. The property has experienced typical urban maintenance issues in the surrounding area, with several 311 calls recorded for street and sidewalk cleaning needs, though most cases have been resolved promptly. An open case concerning a collapsed sidewalk from April 2022 remains on record, and there have been instances of illegal parking and other regulatory matters in the vicinity, though these are external to the building itself.

Risk rating

How 1468-1470 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.

Neighborhood percentile
89th percentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 262 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.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

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 81.0%
Moderate concern 12.2%
Severe concern 6.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
