Initial analysis

The property at 514 6th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Richmond district is a two-story, 5-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1964 and currently owned by Lee Family Service LLC. The building has undergone several significant events throughout its history, with the most recent major issue occurring in 2018 when multiple violations were documented, including unapproved window installations, water damage and mold issues, and various security and maintenance concerns. These violations were all abated by September 19, 2018, and included requirements for smoke detectors, proper garbage receptacle placement, and security improvements such as self-closing doors and deadlatch locks. Following these violations, the building received a window replacement permit in August 2018 to address the unapproved window installation, which was completed.

The building has maintained regular safety inspections over the years, with routine inspections conducted in 1999, 2002, 2016, and 2018. More recent history shows multiple 311 calls between 2022 and 2025, primarily related to parking issues, though these appear to be more related to street conditions than building-specific problems. There was one EMS-related fire incident recorded at the address, but no civilian injuries were reported. While the building has faced various violations and maintenance issues in the past, most have been resolved, and there have been no recent building violations or complaints on record. The property has an active record of responding to street cleaning and sidewalk maintenance needs, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls regarding these services.

Risk rating

How 514 6Th 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, 999 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

Owner's portfolio size

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

Moderate concern 14.8%
Severe concern 8.3%
