Initial analysis

The two-unit multi-family residential building located at 571 7th Avenue in the Inner Richmond district is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1912, currently owned by Matthew John Goulden and Bone. The property's maintenance history shows three significant improvement projects: a $5,500 reroofing project completed in 2013, repairs to rotted rear stairs completed in 2002 (costing $10,000), and an earlier attempt to install vinyl siding to the back of the building in 1987, though this permit ultimately expired.

The most pressing recent issues at this address have been repeated instances of driveway blocking, with a notable pattern of such incidents occurring throughout 2023-2024. Between April 2023 and February 2024, there have been multiple enforcement actions taken, with at least five citations issued to offending vehicles, though officers were unable to locate the vehicles in several other instances. Additionally, there was a tenant buyout recorded at the adjacent address (573 7th Avenue) in September 2020, involving one tenant and totaling $40,000, though this is not directly related to the 571 7th Avenue property.

Risk rating

How 571 7Th 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.
