Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 656-658 4th Avenue in the Inner Richmond neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1905, currently owned by the Jeannie Lee Huey Revocable Trust. The building's most significant recent maintenance work occurred in 2014, when the property underwent both street space modifications and main sewer pipe repairs. The building has a documented history of infrastructure improvements, including a reroofing project completed in 1999, and interior modifications in the late 1980s involving wall construction, wiring updates, and various interior improvements.

The property has experienced recurring issues with sidewalk access and parking violations over recent years, with multiple reports of vehicles parking on the sidewalk (notably in 2018 and 2021) and a residential toter blocking the sidewalk in 2017, though most of these incidents resulted in citations or had minimal impact on the building itself. Three separate sidewalk defect reports were filed in February 2014 concerning lifted sidewalk conditions, though inspections confirmed the sites were in proper condition at the time of evaluation and required no further action. Prior to these incidents, the area experienced a general cleaning issue in 2010 involving loose garbage. While the building's major systems and structure appear to have received regular maintenance attention, the primary concerns for residents relate to occasional sidewalk access challenges and the surrounding street parking situation.

Risk rating

How 656-658 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.
