Initial analysis

The property at 704-710 6th Avenue is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood, built in 1911 and currently owned by Lucie Petersen. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past few decades, including a comprehensive window replacement project in 2004 that installed 42 vinyl windows ($17,870), foundation bolting and plywood reinforcement in 1991, and a roof replacement (though the associated permit expired) in 2001. More recent maintenance includes a wall heater change-out completed in 2009. The building has experienced regular oversight through routine safety inspections by Housing Inspection Services in 2002, 2004, and most recently in 2016, with no significant violations noted in the inspection records.

The property has generated multiple 311 calls in the surrounding area, primarily relating to street cleaning and parking enforcement between 2023 and 2025. Recent reports show recurring issues with garbage and debris on public sidewalks and streets, though most of these were resolved without requiring any specific action from city services. Two false fire alarms were recorded, though neither resulted in civilian injuries. The building's maintenance history demonstrates regular upkeep of critical systems and infrastructure over the years, with no documented building code violations or serious safety concerns in recent inspections. All major renovations and improvements were completed with proper permits, with the notable exception of the expired reroofing permit from 2001.

Risk rating

How 704-710 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.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 1189 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 56.0%
Moderate concern 16.6%
Severe concern 27.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
