Initial analysis

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 241 8th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Richmond district, owned by Parks Lvg Tr, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1909. The property has undergone significant maintenance and improvements in recent years, most notably in late 2020 when major upgrades were completed including the installation of 10 energy-efficient replacement windows (with a u-factor <0.30) and a complete reroofing project, totaling over $42,000 in improvements combined. These renovations suggest proactive maintenance of the building's envelope and energy efficiency.

The building's recent service history shows relatively few serious issues affecting resident safety or comfort. There have been multiple reports of abandoned vehicles in the vicinity between 2022-2023, though in each case, the vehicles were gone upon inspection. There was also one instance of driveway blocking on March 15, 2024, which was resolved by parking enforcement. Two parking-related signs were reported as defaced in early 2021, but these were repaired by the sign shop. The property management has generally responded appropriately to municipal service requests, with all reported issues being resolved or closed, including a tree pruning request in July 2023 and a general cleaning service request in December 2020 that found no issues. The most recent building modifications and relatively low number of complaints suggest active management, though there is a recurring pattern of parking-related issues in the immediate vicinity of the property.

Risk rating

How 241 8Th 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

Out of 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 103 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 size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Building age

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

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 86.2%
Moderate concern 10.6%
Severe concern 3.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
