Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 430 5th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Richmond, owned by George Hung and Lorraine Fung, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1911. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past decade, including a complete reroofing in July 2019 costing approximately $13,810, and most notably, a comprehensive sewer replacement completed in September 2022. The infrastructure also saw the installation of a hot tub electrical circuit in 2008, indicating the property owners' investment in improving resident amenities.

Recent records from 2023-2024 show multiple incidents of illegal parking on the sidewalk, particularly during 2021, with seven documented cases, though in many instances, officers were unable to locate the vehicles. The most recent issues involve abandoned furniture and debris on the street in 2024, though these cases were resolved promptly. Historical permit records show some activities from 1981-1982, including two permits that were either expired or cancelled. The most recent street space permit was issued in August 2019 for a nominal fee of $1. While the building's major systems appear to have received necessary updates based on available permit records, the frequency of parking violations in the immediate area suggests ongoing challenges with local parking enforcement.

Risk rating

How 430 5Th 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, 276 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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Owner's portfolio size

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 85.3%
Moderate concern 12.0%
Severe concern 2.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
