Initial analysis

The Hong Family Trust owns this two-unit residential building, constructed in 1906 in the Parnassus/Ashbury Heights neighborhood. The property underwent significant renovations in 2012, including comprehensive updates to both units with work on four bathrooms (new fixtures and tiling), installation of two new furnaces, complete electrical rewiring with a new 200-amp main panel and three meters, and new gas lines. These improvements, valued at approximately $38,000, involved extensive electrical work including installation of 100 outlets, 30 switches, multiple appliance connections, and smoke detectors. Previously, the building had a roof replacement completed in 2008 at a cost of $13,500.

The property experienced a lead paint issue in 2007-2008, with violations related to peeling paint and proper lead paint handling procedures, though these were resolved by November 2008. More recently, there have been numerous parking-related incidents near the property, with eight documented cases of driveway blocking between July 2023 and January 2025, though most were unable to be verified by responding officers. Two street space permits were issued in 2011, and there were some plumbing and electrical permits filed in 2012 specifically for unit work, including the installation of new shower pans and various fixtures. The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep, particularly noting the significant modernization efforts in 2012 which brought many of the building's systems up to current standards.

Risk rating

How 806-808 Cole 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.

Neighborhood percentile
66th percentile

Out of 526 buildings in this neighborhood, 179 are predicted to be safer.

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.
