Initial analysis

The property at 408-410 12th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood is a two-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1979, currently owned by the Elizabeth T Ing Survivors Trust. The two-story flats and duplex structure has a documented history of maintenance issues, most notably concerning the back balconies and decks, which were found to have severe dry rot on the 2nd and 3rd floors in 2019, prompting a violation notice that was eventually resolved in January 2020 following $22,000 worth of repair work completed in late 2019. The building has undergone some significant maintenance work over the years, including a reroofing project in 2015 costing $10,500 and a previous roofing project in 1991, though the latter expired without completion. Historical records show earlier issues including an illegal kitchen in ground floor habitable space in 1999 and a failed attempt in 1994 to legalize certain living spaces and remove appliances. More recently, there have been two environmental service calls to the vicinity - one in 2024 regarding general cleaning and another in 2021 concerning hazardous materials (glass) - though these were related to street conditions rather than building-specific issues.

Risk rating

How 408-410 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.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 241 are predicted to be safer.
