Initial analysis

The three-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 350 5th Avenue in the Inner Richmond neighborhood was constructed in 1985 following the completion of demolition work in August 1984. The property has undergone several routine inspections over the years, including three documented Housing Inspection Services inspections in 1999, 2007, and most recently a scheduled inspection in January 2011, which revealed multiple fire safety issues that required attention. During the 2011 inspection, violations were documented regarding combustible storage and egress obstructions, though all these violations were officially abated by March 1, 2011.

The building's recent history has been marked by numerous parking-related issues on the surrounding sidewalks, with eight documented incidents between April 2023 and July 2024, though only two of these resulted in citations. The property has experienced three minor fire-related incidents, including smoke removal, a false alarm, and an overheated motor situation, none of which resulted in civilian injuries. The building has maintained compliance with major housing codes since the resolution of the 2011 violations, with no active violations on record. Street cleanliness has been addressed periodically, with two general cleaning incidents reported in 2023.

Risk rating

How 350 5Th 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.
