Initial analysis

The property at 671-673 8th Avenue in the Inner Richmond district is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1921. The building, currently owned by Look Family Trust, has a documented history that includes minimal maintenance records, with the only known building permit being for a reroofing project completed in 1990.

The most recent incidents involving the property have all been parking-related issues, with four documented cases of driveway blocking between January and October 2023, all resulting in citations being issued to the offending vehicles. These incidents involved a variety of vehicles, including a Ford F150 Raptor, Toyota, Subaru, and Mini Cooper S. Prior to 2023, there was one reported case of an abandoned BMW motorcycle in January 2018, which was resolved when the vehicle was no longer present. The only non-parking related incident on record was an offensive graffiti case involving a pole in September 2015, which was addressed and resolved by city services. The limited number of permits and incidents on record suggests relatively stable conditions at the property, though the recent spate of parking violations may indicate ongoing challenges with street parking in the area.

Risk rating

How 671-673 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, 638 are predicted to be safer.
