Initial analysis

The multi-family residential building at 2-8 Point Lobos Avenue in San Francisco's Outer Richmond district is a 2-story, 4-unit apartment building constructed in 1948 and currently owned by the David L K Huang Revocable Trust. The building's maintenance history shows several significant events, with the most pressing concerns arising from a routine apartment housing inspection on December 26, 2007, which identified multiple safety issues requiring attention, including the need for handrails and self-closing door repairs. These violations were addressed and officially abated by March 24, 2008. More recently, in May 2019, there was a fire safety concern regarding blocked exits, though this was promptly corrected within one day.

The property has experienced occasional plumbing issues, with a backed-up toilet complaint filed and resolved within a day in March 2002, and has undergone routine housing inspections in 1999 and 2007. The building's location has seen consistent street-level maintenance issues, particularly in 2024, with numerous 311 calls (dating from June through January 2025) reporting garbage, debris, and encampments in the vicinity. While these external issues have been consistently addressed and resolved by city services, they reflect ongoing neighborhood challenges. The building's internal systems appear to have remained stable in recent years, with no major violations or complaints recorded since 2019, though there were two fire incidents noted in the records (one involving water or steam leakage) with no civilian injuries reported.

Risk rating

How 2-8 Point Lobos 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

Out of 1040 buildings in this neighborhood, 811 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.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 59.5%
Moderate concern 25.9%
Severe concern 14.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
