Initial analysis

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 355-357 5th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood is a three-story flats and duplex structure built in 1895, currently owned by Jay J Price and C Volpe-price. The building's maintenance history shows several structural improvements over the decades, including a significant foundation replacement and lateral strengthening completed in 1991, a reroofing project in 1995, and the installation of vinyl siding on the rear side in 2003, though the latter permit has since expired. More recently, in 2007, a sidewalk permit was issued for the property.

The building's recent incident history primarily consists of parking-related issues and street maintenance matters. In 2024, there have been two notable incidents: an open case regarding construction equipment blocking a parking space (reported November 2024) and a resolved case of loose garbage requiring general cleaning (January 2024). Previous incidents include a driveway blocking complaint in 2021 (resolved through police intervention), an instance of offensive graffiti on a pole in 2014, and another case of loose garbage that required street cleaning in 2012. While these incidents indicate some ongoing maintenance and parking challenges in the vicinity, they appear to be typical urban neighborhood issues rather than specific building-related concerns. The building's permitted work history suggests regular maintenance attention to major structural elements, with the most recent documented building maintenance occurring in 2003.

Risk rating

How 355-357 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.
