Initial analysis

Located in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood, 345 7th Avenue is a three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1995. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years, including multiple siding repairs, the most recent being the addition of cedarmill siding on multiple exterior surfaces in 2012. Between 2004 and 2006, the building experienced several issues related to water intrusion and moisture problems, including a notable incident in 2005 where water damage resulted in mold growth and discolored carpeting, followed by complaints about window leaks and drainage problems. During this period, multiple building code violations were recorded (all since abated), including issues with weatherproofing, interior surface damage, and plumbing concerns.

The building's original construction in 1993 included the installation of a comprehensive fire sprinkler system with 71 heads, demonstrating an early commitment to safety features. Recent maintenance records from 2023-2024 show regular municipal engagement primarily related to street cleaning and waste management issues, including reports of abandoned furniture and a missing side sewer vent cover. While there have been no major recent incidents reported through 311 calls, the pattern of historical water-related issues and exterior maintenance projects suggests ongoing attention to building envelope integrity has been required throughout the building's history. A single water-related incident was recorded in the fire incident data, with no civilian injuries reported.

Risk rating

How 345 7Th 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
81th percentile

Out of 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 327 are predicted to be safer.
