Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 763-765 5th Avenue in the Inner Richmond neighborhood, managed by Yip/gu Family Trust, has undergone significant renovations and improvements over the past several years. Most recently, in October 2023, the property received substantial exterior updates including new rear and side siding, window sill replacements, and complete repainting, with an investment of $75,000. Earlier in 2023, the building was upgraded with a new roof ($11,800) and is currently undergoing the installation of a solar panel system (5.4kW) as of September 2023. The property has seen consistent maintenance and modernization efforts since 2018, including the installation of soundproofing between units, electrical upgrades (200-amp service panel and rewiring), and furnace replacement.

Several notable improvements have focused on safety and functionality, including a filed permit in July 2023 for a new firewall and rear stairs, and a major remodeling project in 2021 that involved enlarging parking spaces and updating windows and siding. The building has also made significant sustainability improvements, with the recent addition of solar panels and earlier electrical upgrades. Planning records indicate various proposed developments, including plans for a fourth-story addition and new unit installation, though some applications were withdrawn or marked as informational. The property has experienced recurring issues with abandoned vehicles in the vicinity, documented through multiple 311 calls between 2019-2021, though these external matters are not directly related to the building's condition or management.

Risk rating

How 763-765 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.
