Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 675 8th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Richmond district is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1920, currently owned by James Coe & Carolyn Coe Rev. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and infrastructure improvements over the years, with the most recent major work being a reroofing project completed in 2017 at a cost of $9,000. In 2016, the property experienced sewer-related issues, with multiple sewage backup incidents reported on November 2nd, which required attention from the PUC Sewer Operations team. That same year, infrastructure upgrades were completed, including the replacement of the house trap and street space modifications.

Looking further back, the building's maintenance history shows consistent upkeep, including a substantial garage renovation in 2002 that involved replacing a girder with a steel alternative and installing new concrete footings, valued at $10,000. Two earlier roofing projects are on record, with one completed in 1994 and another issued permit in 2017. The most recent incident affecting the property was reported in April 2021, concerning illegal postings that were resolved by the Department of Public Works. The building's permit and service request history suggests regular maintenance and addressing of infrastructure needs, with particular attention needed to the sewer system as evidenced by the 2016 incidents.

Risk rating

How 675 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
