Initial analysis

The Young Family Trust owns this two-unit residential building, located at 680-682 5th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood. Built in 1907, this two-story flats and duplex structure has undergone several significant changes and faced notable challenges over its history. In 2004, the property underwent bathroom renovations on the ground floor, including the installation of a shower stall and electrical work, with the plumbing infrastructure being later updated in 2018 with replacement gas piping for both units. The building experienced a major regulatory issue in 2004 when multiple violations were filed, documenting unauthorized use of a third unit that was eventually abated in January 2005, following the issuance of multiple Notices of Violation (NOV). More recently, in 2016, there was a complaint about the property's backyard being filled with various debris, including appliances and construction materials, though this case is listed as not active. The property has generated several 311 calls in the past few years, primarily regarding parking violations on the sidewalk near the property and occasional street cleaning issues, with the most recent incidents occurring in 2023 and 2024. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to basic systems like plumbing and electrical, though the unauthorized unit situation in 2004-2005 and the 2016 debris complaint suggest periods of management challenges. The property appears to have maintained compliance with housing regulations since the 2004 violations were addressed, though the presence of multiple 311 calls for nearby issues suggests ongoing concerns with the immediate surroundings.

Risk rating

How 680-682 5Th 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
46th percentile

Out of 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 930 are predicted to be safer.
