Initial analysis

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 614-616 7th Avenue in the Inner Richmond, owned by the Ng Kee Fung Revocable Trust, has been standing since 1907. The property has undergone several significant modifications over its lifetime, including a 1987 attempt to convert the ground floor into a recreation room and toilet (which was cancelled), and a 1996 effort to remove an illegal bathroom and convert the space into storage (which expired). A window and door replacement project was initiated in 1983 but was also listed as expired.

The building's maintenance and living conditions have been periodically reviewed, with routine inspections recorded in 1985 and 2002, though both cases have been marked as not active. More recently, there have been multiple infrastructure and environmental issues on record. In January 2025, two noise complaints related to a major event venue were filed, with one remaining open. The property experienced a sewage backup issue in January 2024 that was promptly resolved by field staff. There have been several sanitation-related incidents in 2024, with multiple reports of loose garbage and debris, though most of these cases were resolved, including a February 2024 cleaning issue that remains open. The building's surrounding areas have seen various municipal interactions, including a sidewalk parking complaint in June 2024 and an illegal postings case in August 2021, both of which were resolved. A street space permit was issued in 2015, representing the most recent formal building permit activity on record.

Risk rating

How 614-616 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.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 1223 are predicted to be safer.
