Initial analysis

The property at 370-372 4th Avenue in the Inner Richmond is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1900 and currently owned by the Robert J Lee Trust 2005. The building has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance work over the years, with the most recent major work being an in-kind kitchen remodel (150 sq.ft.) and bathroom remodel (50 sq.ft.) with accompanying light fixture replacements, for which permits were issued in December 2024. The building has experienced recurring moisture-related issues, most notably in 2019-2020, when multiple complaints were filed regarding water damage and mold, particularly in the kitchen area and affecting both units. These issues prompted the installation of fire sprinklers in April 2008, suggesting some water damage mitigation work was attempted.

Throughout its history, the building has received various maintenance updates, including a complete reroofing in 2006, front stair repairs in 2008 due to dry rot, and electrical system upgrades including service replacement in 2006. In 2019, the property faced multiple building violations related to lead paint hazards and the need for repairs to damaged walls, ceilings, and handrails, though these were all abated by August 2019. The most recent building-related activity includes ongoing kitchen and bath repairs as of January 2025. The property has also incurred numerous parking-related incidents, with several citations issued for blocking driveways and parking on sidewalks between 2019 and 2024, suggesting ongoing challenges with street parking in the area.

Risk rating

How 370-372 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.
