Initial analysis

The two-unit residential property at 541 8th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Richmond district is a two-story flats and duplex building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Erlinda R Coloma Survivors. The building's maintenance history includes a significant roofing project completed in 2011 at a cost of $19,850, and a renovation in 1995 involving the replacement of four damaged terrazzo steps, both of which were properly completed according to city records.

The property has generated multiple service requests in recent years, with the majority occurring between late 2023 and 2024. The most pressing current concern is an open case from April 2024 regarding tree roots damaging the sidewalk. The building has experienced recurring issues with parking violations, particularly in late 2023, with three documented cases of blocked driveways resulting in citations. There have been several incidents involving garbage and debris, with the most recent being an overflowing city garbage can in December 2023. While most of these cases have been resolved, they suggest ongoing challenges with waste management in the immediate area. The property has maintained its structural integrity through proper maintenance of major systems, as evidenced by the completed permits, but the recent tree root issues and recurring parking violations may impact resident experience.

Risk rating

How 541 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

Out of 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 534 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.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

Building age

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

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 82.3%
Moderate concern 12.9%
Severe concern 4.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
