Initial analysis

The three-story, 10-unit multi-family residential building at 772-776 6th Avenue in the Inner Richmond, constructed in 1906, has undergone significant safety improvements in recent years. Most notably, in 2023, the building completed mandatory fire alarm system upgrades to comply with San Francisco Fire Code requirements, including the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas and the upgrade of fire panel and devices, at a cost of $27,212. The building underwent a substantial seismic retrofit in 2020 (Phase 4D) as part of San Francisco's Mandatory Soft Story Program, with later modifications in 2021, demonstrating compliance with earthquake safety requirements.

The property has a history of addressing various safety and maintenance issues, particularly related to fire safety. Between 2003-2011, multiple fire-related violations were recorded, including concerns about egress obstruction, fire escape maintenance, and fire extinguisher issues, though all these violations were subsequently abated by March 2007. More recent fire safety inspections in 2022-2023 have shown prompt corrective actions by management. The building has experienced three documented fire-related incidents since 2019, all of which were either detector activations due to malfunction or false alarms, with no civilian injuries reported. Other infrastructure improvements include a sewer line replacement in 2021, and a comprehensive water service upgrade in 2010. The building's management has generally responded promptly to maintenance issues, as evidenced by the rapid resolution of most complaints and violations, though a 2021 tenant complaint about construction dust remains noted as not active.

Risk rating

How 772-776 6Th 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.
