Initial analysis

This two-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building located at 370 8th Avenue in the Inner Richmond, owned by the Yee Family Trust, was constructed in 1964 and falls under the Apartment 5 to 14 Units classification. The property has undergone several significant safety upgrades in recent years, most notably a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade completed in 2022 that included the installation of low frequency sounders in sleeping areas to meet current fire code requirements. This upgrade was part of a broader effort to enhance building safety, following a series of violations in May 2002 that highlighted multiple fire safety concerns including issues with ventilation, fire extinguisher maintenance, combustible storage, and lead paint hazards. All of these 2002 violations were promptly addressed and abated within two weeks.

Recent maintenance history shows attention to building infrastructure, with a $10,800 fire alarm system upgrade completed in 2022, though an earlier reroofing permit from 2000 appears to have expired without completion. The building has undergone regular routine inspections by Housing Inspection Services, with records showing inspections in 1996, 2002, 2009, and 2010, all of which were marked as "Not Active" following resolution of identified issues. The property has experienced some recent infrastructure challenges, including a sewage backup incident in January 2024 that was promptly addressed by city services. A review of 311 calls from 2023-2024 shows primarily exterior issues related to parking enforcement and street maintenance, with no building-specific complaints recorded. The only recorded fire incident was a false alarm or call, with no civilian injuries reported.

Risk rating

How 370 8Th 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
44th percentile

Out of 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 965 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.

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

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 74.9%
Moderate concern 14.5%
Severe concern 10.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
