Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 469-471 8th Avenue in the Inner Richmond neighborhood, built in 1912, has undergone significant improvements over the past 15 years, with major renovations completed between 2008-2010. These improvements included the installation of a comprehensive fire sprinkler system throughout the building, a fire alarm system with monitoring capabilities, and substantial plumbing upgrades comprising six bathrooms, two kitchens, washer/dryer installations, and multiple utility systems. The building received a new roof in 2022 at a cost of $6,000, demonstrating ongoing maintenance commitment.

Historically, the property experienced several maintenance challenges in the late 1990s, including multiple heating system failures, window issues, and water leaks, all of which were eventually resolved. A significant renovation period occurred between 2008-2010, during which most of the building's major systems were modernized and safety features were enhanced. The building has had some minor recent incidents reported through 311 calls, primarily related to street parking issues, though these are external to the building itself. A fire alarm system complaint recorded in 2014 was resolved in 2015 with conditions corrected.

Risk rating

How 469-471 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

Model explanation

What's driving this score

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Owner's portfolio size

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

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 82.7%
Moderate concern 12.4%
Severe concern 4.8%
