Initial analysis

The property at 430 8th Avenue is a two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1973, containing four units and currently owned by Janet Y Galeano. The building's maintenance records show two re-roofing projects: one completed in 2015 at a cost of $9,000, and an earlier one from 1991 which has since expired. The building has undergone routine housing inspections in 2000, 2010, and 2015, with one notable complaint filed in 2005 regarding business operations in a residential area, though this was resolved within three weeks.

In recent years, the property area has experienced several quality-of-life issues primarily related to parking and street cleaning. Between 2018 and 2021, there were multiple incidents involving sidewalk parking violations near the property, with varying levels of enforcement response including at least one citation issued in 2020. There were also several instances of loose garbage on streets and sidewalks, and one complaint about waste receptacles being left out continuously in 2019, all of which were subsequently resolved. A potentially concerning incident was reported in 2015 regarding non-residential activity in one of the units (Apartment 4), including operation of machines allegedly causing disturbance to neighbors, though this appears to have been addressed. The only recorded fire incident associated with the address was a false alarm with no civilian injuries.

Risk rating

How 430 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

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.

Building size

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

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 73.6%
Moderate concern 13.3%
Severe concern 13.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
