Initial analysis

The property at 313 4th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood is a two-unit, single-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, owned by Douglas and Rose O'Connor. The building has undergone several significant renovations and improvements over the past two decades, with the most substantial work occurring between 2001-2004 when a major foundation replacement and structural upgrade project was undertaken, including the addition of new first-floor pop-out sections and entry improvements, costing approximately $68,050. During this period, the rear cottage was converted into a legal two-dwelling unit, complete with fire sprinkler system installation in 2003. The property underwent significant electrical upgrades in 2007, with new three-meter service installation, rewiring, and complete electrical system modernization, replacing existing knob and tube circuits, along with various plumbing improvements. More recent improvements include window replacements in 2015 and ongoing maintenance of electrical systems, with the last known electrical work completed in 2007.

The building has experienced several code compliance issues, with two complaints regarding illegal units filed in 2002, though these were resolved through the legalization of the rear cottage as a two-unit dwelling. There was a fire complaint in 2009 regarding hazardous materials, which was determined to have no merit. Recent maintenance and service requests have primarily concerned external matters, including tree root damage to sidewalks (reported in 2022), various cleaning and waste issues, and parking violations near the property, all of which were resolved through appropriate channels. The property appears to be well-maintained overall, with no active violations or building code concerns currently on record, and the owners have demonstrated continued investment in infrastructure improvements and compliance with regulatory requirements.

Risk rating

How 313 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

Out of 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 327 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 age

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 84.8%
Moderate concern 12.0%
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.
