Initial analysis

The two-story, five-unit apartment building at 611 4th Avenue in the Inner Richmond, owned by Lue Fmly Lvg Tr, was constructed in 1971 and has experienced several notable maintenance and safety issues over the years. In 2006, the building underwent significant remediation work following multiple violations related to fire safety, including a malfunctioning central alarm system and fire proofing issues, as well as interior maintenance concerns such as mold/mildew presence, plumbing leaks in the garage, and peeling paint around skylights. These violations were all abated by September 20, 2006. More recently, in 2022, there was a complaint about unpermitted construction work at the top level of the building, though this was resolved within a week.

The building has undergone several routine safety inspections over the years, with the most recent one occurring in 2019, which included two fire alarm system-related incidents, one of which was determined to have no merit while the other was corrected. Historical records also indicate water damage issues in 1999 and recurring problems with mold both in the garage and residential units. The property has generated multiple 311 calls in recent years, primarily related to street cleaning and debris issues outside the building, including reports of abandoned vehicles and furniture, though these external issues do not directly impact the building's habitability. The most recent significant building-related issues appear to have been addressed, with no active violations or complaints on record since 2022.

Risk rating

How 611 4Th 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, 1361 are predicted to be safer.
