Initial analysis

The 2-story multi-family residential building at 519 6th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood, owned by Lim Felix & Mary 1999 Family Trust, was constructed in 1983 and contains 3 units. The property has undergone several significant modifications since its completion, including a roofing project in 1999, basement storage modifications in 1991, and two cancelled proposals for family room and playroom additions in 1987-1988. The building experienced a notable cluster of violations in January 2008, primarily related to fire safety and security issues, including the need for fire extinguisher maintenance, door viewers, and removal of combustible storage, though these violations were all abated by March 2008. Regular housing inspections occurred in 2000 and 2015, indicating ongoing municipal oversight.

Recent history shows the building has faced multiple parking-related issues, particularly in 2023, with numerous reports of sidewalk parking violations involving a specific white Toyota 4Runner between March and September 2023, culminating in at least one citation being issued. The most recent building-related incident was a garbage and debris complaint in June 2024, which was resolved. The property was involved in a tenant buyout transaction in 2020, where one tenant received $30,000 for relinquishing their lease at 513 6th Avenue.

Risk rating

How 519 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
