Initial analysis

The property at 45-47 6th Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building, commonly referred to as a flats and duplex style, located in the Lake-The Presidio neighborhood. Built in 1908 and currently owned by Yamin Soha, this building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep with several significant improvements. Most recently, in 2020, both a sewer repair and a sewer section replacement were completed, demonstrating attention to essential infrastructure (Permit #PW20200924918). Earlier improvements include a complete reroofing project in 2018 (Permit #201802010132), and historical records show earlier renovations including kitchen updates in 1989, a sidewalk repair permit in 2004, and another roofing project in 1999.

The building has experienced several parking-related issues in its vicinity, with multiple citations issued for driveway blocking between 2020-2024, indicating ongoing challenges with street parking enforcement. There are two streetlight maintenance records from 2020 near the property, one for flickering lights and another for a damaged pole, both of which were resolved through city services. A notable building complaint was filed in February 2023 regarding an empty store in the main building, though this case is currently listed as not active. The property has undergone regular maintenance and repairs as evidenced by the various permits, with no recent permits suggesting major structural changes or concerns about building safety.

Risk rating

How 45-47 6Th 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
