Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 124-126 7th Avenue, owned by the Episcopal Church of Saint M, has undergone several significant transformations since its construction in 1907. Most notably, in 2001, the property underwent a substantial $200,000 remodeling project converting the two flats into a single 4-bedroom residence, a change that was subject to a discretionary review by the Planning Commission. This was followed by various maintenance and repair work, including a 2011 project costing over $14,000 to address dry rot issues in the porch area. Historical records show earlier renovation attempts, including a kitchen remodel in 1995 and a cancelled plan to add an attic bathroom in 1981.

Recent activity at the property includes a tenant buyout in January 2024, involving two tenants and a compensation amount of $80,000. The building has experienced minimal emergency or safety incidents, with only one fire complaint recorded in March 2018 that was promptly resolved within 16 days. Two parking-related incidents were reported in late 2023/early 2024, though these were external to the property and were resolved by city services.

Risk rating

How 124-126 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
75th percentile

Out of 660 buildings in this neighborhood, 165 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.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 83.0%
Moderate concern 12.5%
Severe concern 4.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
