Initial analysis

The three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 87 7th Avenue, owned by Antonio & Rita Castellucci, was constructed in 1912 and is located in the Lake-Presidio neighborhood. The property has experienced several significant events throughout its history, most notably a major fire incident in 2003-2004 that required substantial repairs including structural framing work, bathroom and kitchen renovations, and the installation of a new electrical system with 400-amp service for all units, totaling over $265,000 in permitted work. The building is currently classified as non-compliant with San Francisco's Mandatory Soft Story Retrofit Program, with active violations dating back to 2017-2021, including failure to complete required work and associated fees. In the early 2000s, the property underwent various improvements including reroofing, stucco repairs, and multiple routine housing inspections that revealed several issues requiring correction including heating system deficiencies, fire safety concerns, and electrical system problems, though these were subsequently abated by September 2002.

Recent activity at the property has been relatively routine, with a few notable incidents including a fire alarm system correction in early 2024 and regular emergency responses for medical assistance with no reported civilian injuries. The building's maintenance history shows attention to various structural and safety concerns, including at least one kitchen and bathroom remodel in the early 1990s. Recent complaints from 2023-2025 have primarily been related to parking issues and sidewalk cleanliness, with some infrastructure and utility matters being addressed promptly. All past building violations and complaints appear to have been resolved except for the current soft-story non-compliance issue, which presents the most significant safety-related concern according to San Francisco building regulations.

Risk rating

How 87 7Th 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
