Initial analysis

The 775-777 6th Avenue property is a two-story, 7-unit multi-family residential building in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood, owned by Balvant & Kumud Patel and constructed in 1924. The building underwent significant safety and modernization improvements over recent years, most notably the completed installation of a new accessory dwelling unit (ADU) on the ground floor in 2021, following a comprehensive soft-story retrofit completed in 2017 to improve seismic safety. The property has received substantial fire safety upgrades, including a new fire sprinkler system installed in 2020 ($15,300), an upgraded fire alarm system ($18,000), and related electrical and plumbing work. These improvements suggest a concerted effort to enhance building safety and meet current code requirements.

The building's history includes several maintenance and safety issues that have been addressed through proper channels. In 2017, there were multiple violations related to fire safety and building maintenance, including problems with the fire escape drop ladder and lead paint concerns, all of which were abated by August 2017. More recently, there was a complaint in 2018 regarding potentially exposed asbestos on pipes and floor issues, which was addressed. The property has also experienced various typical urban maintenance issues, such as garbage and debris concerns documented through 311 calls. The management has completed all required safety improvements, including a $138,500 ADU installation and numerous system upgrades, while maintaining compliance with housing inspection requirements.

Risk rating

How 775-777 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.
