Initial analysis

The property at 378-380 4th Avenue in the Inner Richmond is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1904, currently owned by Wong Gee Ping & Chui Tai Ya. The building's maintenance history includes two minor street space permits issued in March 2017 (cost: $1 each), and a window replacement and interior painting project completed in August 2005 costing $800, during which three windows were updated on the side of the building. The property's exterior and immediate surroundings have experienced recurring issues with graffiti between 2010 and 2020, affecting various surfaces including poles, sidewalks, and street signs, though all incidents were resolved through appropriate channels. A notable infrastructure concern was documented in October 2015, when approximately 40 square feet of damaged/uneven sidewalk was reported, though this was marked as having an unchanged condition following inspection. Additional routine maintenance issues have included loose garbage concerns (July 2020) and a ground-based parking sign requiring service (October 2015), both of which were addressed by the relevant city agencies.

Risk rating

How 378-380 4Th 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
71th percentile

Out of 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 500 are predicted to be safer.
