Initial analysis

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 372-374 6th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Richmond district is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1915, currently owned by Chung Hop & King Tsui Lau W. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over its history, with the most concerning incidents occurring in 2002 when multiple violations were documented related to stairway repairs, self-closing devices on exterior doors, and gas meter instructional diagrams. These violations, recorded on April 30, 2002, were all addressed and abated by May 29, 2002, along with permits for rear common stairway repairs totaling $500. Additional historical maintenance work includes bathroom remodeling on the second floor of 374 6th Avenue in 1991 and dry rot repairs in 1986, when both stucco and tiles were also replaced on the lower part of the building.

The property has seen various municipal interactions over the years, including routine housing inspections in 1999 and 2002, and more recent 311 calls. The most recent complaint related to general maintenance was logged in November 2024 and is currently in a closed status, while earlier calls included reports of encampments, graffiti, and sidewalk issues in 2019, 2021, and 2014. The building's maintenance history shows periods of attention to structural and safety requirements, particularly in the early 2000s, with fewer documented issues in recent years. The presence of multiple address assignment permits from 2002, though expired, suggests administrative adjustments to the building's official designation during that period.

Risk rating

How 372-374 6Th 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

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.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 69.5%
Moderate concern 21.9%
Severe concern 8.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
