Initial analysis

The property at 283-291 6th Avenue is a 2-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building with commercial space, located in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood and owned by Sophie Gasparatos Lvg Tr. Built in 1900, this building has undergone various modifications and faced several regulatory challenges over the years. Most recently, there is an active violation from December 2022 regarding an expired awning installation permit (201709077285) for which monthly monitoring fees apply. Previous violations include a significant safety concern in 2015 when a potentially hazardous metal sign displaying signs of rust and missing stay wires was reported, and in 2012, there was unauthorized plumbing work in the apartments above the commercial space. The building has undergone various improvements, including accessibility upgrades in 1992 with the installation of a new ramp and front door, window replacements, and electrical upgrades such as light fixture replacement in 2003.

Recent activity suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding garbage management, with multiple reports of overflowing city garbage cans in January 2025. The building has a history of permit compliance issues, with several permits issued for sign work and storefront modifications, including a 2016 permit to replace cabinet signs at the corner. Infrastructure improvements include sewer line repairs completed in 2011 and multiple roofing projects completed in the 1990s. The property's commercial space has operated as a general retail store with grocery and off-sale liquor sales, with specific operational hours established between 6am-2am, though there have been complications regarding unpermitted sign installations. While some historical violations have been resolved, including a commercial work permit issue in 2016, the current active violation regarding the awning permit remains a notable concern for the property.

Risk rating

How 283-291 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.
