Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 466-468 8th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1946, currently owned by Sonny Chu and Joyce C-h Lee F. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to the roof, with the most recent substantial work occurring in July 2019 when a $13,600 roofing project was completed, involving replacement of both flat and shingled sections along with gutter work. This followed earlier roofing projects in 1995 and window installations in 1985-1987, indicating ongoing property upkeep.

The building's recent incident history (2013-2025) has primarily involved exterior and streetscape issues rather than building-specific problems. Recent concerns include multiple reports of parking violations on the nearby sidewalk (January 2025, February 2022), two abandoned vehicle reports (September and July 2021), and a city garbage can overflow (January 2020). Historical infrastructure issues included a pair of sidewalk defect reports in February 2014, which were resolved, and a flickering streetlight complaint in December 2013 that was addressed by PG&E. The property's documented history suggests regular maintenance of structural elements like the roof and windows, with no recorded complaints or violations directly related to the building's internal systems or living conditions.

Risk rating

How 466-468 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.
