Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 611-613 8th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Richmond district is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1921, currently owned by Long Sutton. The property has undergone several significant renovations and improvements over the years, with the most substantial work occurring in 2006 when foundation bolting was installed (14 bolts on the north side and 4 in the front) and termite-related repairs were completed for approximately $13,000 total. This followed a termite report and was one of the building's most important structural improvements. In 2010, vinyl siding was added to the rear of the building for $6,000. Earlier improvements include a bathroom renovation and toilet addition on the first floor completed in 1996, and kitchen renovations including new cabinets, plumbing, and electrical work completed in 1991. The building received new windows in 2006, though records indicate this permit expired.

Of particular note is the recent history of parking-related issues near the property, with multiple enforcement actions taken between August 2024 and January 2025 for driveway blocking violations, resulting in citations being issued in several cases. There have also been recurring issues with garbage and debris on the street, including multiple reports of abandoned furniture and Christmas tree disposal between August 2024 and January 2025, though these were generally resolved promptly. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep and improvements over the decades, with significant attention paid to addressing both structural and aesthetic aspects of the property, though the frequency and pattern of recent parking-related complaints suggest ongoing challenges with street access in the immediate vicinity.

Risk rating

How 611-613 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
