Initial analysis

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 355 7th Avenue in the Inner Richmond, owned by Klein Family Trust and constructed in 1972, has experienced several notable maintenance and safety events since 2002. The building has undergone some significant repairs, including a complete reroofing project in 2011 costing $8,900. Multiple safety violations were documented in 2002, all of which were resolved within two weeks of issuance and included issues with fire proofing, smoke detectors, egress obstructions, and plumbing/electrical systems. A more recent incident in 2015 involved problems with ceilings and walls that were addressed by December 2015, with the property briefly being classified as a nuisance. Earlier building maintenance records show routine inspections in 1996 and 2009, with the latter addressing garage door lock issues.

Recent activity at the property primarily involves external matters, with numerous complaints about driveway blocking during 2023-2025 and several general street cleaning and graffiti removal requests in the surrounding area between 2021 and 2024. These external issues have all been resolved, with parking violations resulting in citations. The property's documented history shows a pattern of prompt response to violations and maintenance needs, with most building-related issues being addressed within reasonable timeframes. While there have been multiple routine inspections and violations, all have been categorized as "Not Active" following resolution, indicating no ongoing safety or maintenance concerns.

Risk rating

How 355 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
