Initial analysis

The two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 378-380 12th Avenue in the Inner Richmond, owned by the Violet Title Holding Trust, has several notable incidents on record, with the most significant being recent fire safety concerns. Most pressing is a December 2023 violation regarding sleeping area requirements, which was ordered through a permit process but was later rescinded. Earlier this year, in February 2023, there was a fire safety issue involving blocked exits, though this condition was promptly corrected within one day. Historical fire safety violations were documented in 2005 and 2007, relating to fire extinguishers and alarm systems respectively, both of which were resolved through corrective actions.

The building has experienced recurring issues with street-level garbage management, as evidenced by three 311 calls between 2020 and 2023 regarding overflowing city garbage cans, with the most recent incidents occurring in March and January of 2023. Additionally, there was a reported incident of graffiti on a transit shelter platform in April 2018, which was addressed through scheduled maintenance. While the recent fire safety violations are concerning, it's worth noting that previous violations were addressed promptly, and the most recent sleeping area violation was subsequently rescinded. The property, built in 1927, is classified as a flats and duplex structure and has been subject to various municipal service calls over the past several years.

Risk rating

How 378-380 12Th 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.
