Initial analysis

The 5-unit multi-family residential building at 359-363 6th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Richmond district, owned by Maher 2000 Trust, has a documented history stretching back to its 1907 construction. The property has undergone several significant modifications, including a horizontal addition completed in 1988, the installation of a sprinkler system in 1992, and structural modifications in 2002 that involved replacing a non-bearing wall with a beam and footings. More recent concerns have emerged, with multiple construction-related complaints in 2023-2024, including noise reports, though these were ultimately transferred to appropriate channels for follow-up. A significant cluster of violations was documented in 2015, including issues with heating, plumbing, fire safety, and interior surfaces, though all were marked as abated by September 2015.

The building has experienced periodic maintenance and compliance challenges, as evidenced by various complaints and violations over the years. Notable past issues include a 2019 complaint about unpermitted exterior renovations, and a 2011 complaint regarding unauthorized use of the property as a potential "sex party house." Five routine housing inspections conducted between 1999 and 2015 generally indicated compliance, though some required follow-up for issues such as stair repairs and smoke detector installation. The property's electrical systems have undergone updates, with a 2013 project involving the installation of conduits and 12kV cable, while street space usage was also permitted in 2013. Recent municipal interactions, particularly in late 2023 through 2024, have primarily centered around construction noise and related disturbances, suggesting ongoing building work, though specific details about the nature of this work are not fully documented in the available records.

Risk rating

How 359-363 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

Out of 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 1447 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

Building age

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 65.2%
Moderate concern 26.2%
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.
