Initial analysis

The two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 374 12th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Richmond district, owned by Amaranth Title Holding Trust, was constructed in 1924 and has undergone several notable changes and faced various regulatory challenges over the years. In the early 2000s, the property underwent significant modifications, including the conversion of an in-law unit to a storage room with kitchen removal (2001) to comply with apartment building codes, during which electrical modifications were also performed to remove a range outlet. The building faced multiple fire safety violations in April 2001, including issues with egress obstruction, combustible storage, fire proofing, and self-closing exterior doors, though all these violations were abated by July 2001. Subsequent improvements included reroofing work in 2007 ($7,500) and a street space permit issued in 2013.

The building underwent annual routine inspections, with significant findings recorded in 2017 that included concerns about building identification, apartment numbering, lead paint hazards, and fire safety requirements such as sprinkler installation over garbage receptacles. A notable complaint was filed in 2022 regarding a non-operable garage door that was described as a potential fire hazard. The property has experienced recurring issues with graffiti between 2009 and 2018, and while most recent complaints have not resulted in active violations, the 2017 routine inspection and the 2022 garage door complaint suggest ongoing maintenance and compliance monitoring. The building's history includes one complaint about an illegal apartment on the ground floor in 2001, which was resolved in 2003. Various infrastructure issues have been reported through 311 calls, including pavement defects, street lighting concerns, and waste removal needs in the surrounding area, though these are primarily related to public infrastructure rather than the building itself.

Risk rating

How 374 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.
