Initial analysis

The two-story multi-family residential building at 244-246 6th Avenue in the Inner Richmond, owned by John & Ling Yue Family Survivors Trust, was constructed in 1906 and contains three units. The property has undergone significant renovations throughout its history, with major work occurring between 2004-2005 including a roof pitch change to flat, building extensions, and extensive interior improvements totaling over $300,000. These renovations involved replacing unsound stairs, repairing water damage, and upgrading the electrical system with new panels, circuits, and fixtures. The building experienced water-related issues in 2016-2017, with multiple violations related to water damage and gas utility requirements, though these were all abated by May 2017.

The property has an active permit filed in 2020 for installing an additional dwelling unit at the ground level under ordinance 162-16, which appears to be currently on hold. Three significant complaints were made in late 2005 regarding unauthorized construction work and excavation near the foundation, though these were resolved quickly. Recent external maintenance issues have been minimal, with only occasional reports of graffiti and parking violations noted through 311 calls. The building's record shows appropriate responsiveness to violations and complaints, with all documented issues being resolved according to official records. The most recent building-related activity was a 311 call in May 2024 regarding graffiti, which remains open as of the latest available data.

Risk rating

How 244-246 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
83th percentile

Out of 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 293 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 76.1%
Moderate concern 16.8%
Severe concern 7.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
