Initial analysis

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 778-782 7th Avenue in the Inner Richmond, owned by Greater Bay Area Capital LLC, has undergone significant safety upgrades and renovations since 2020. Most notably, the building experienced a fire in February 2020 that rendered it temporarily uninhabitable, leading to extensive repairs including electrical rewiring, drywall replacement, and window replacements completed by September 2021. Following the fire, substantial safety improvements were implemented, including the installation of 64 sprinkler heads with underground piping ($43,000) in September 2020, and a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade ($12,000) in August 2021 to comply with city fire code requirements. The building has also received significant bathroom upgrades, with new full bathrooms added to each of the three units in 2020, along with kitchen renovations and electrical service upgrades.

The property had a series of building violations noted in December 2015 during a routine inspection, primarily related to fire safety and maintenance issues such as garbage receptacle placement, structural maintenance, and lead paint concerns, though these were all abated by October 2016. Recent maintenance issues have included a 2024 sprinkler/standpipe systems correction noticed by the fire department, though this was resolved by October 2024. The building's location has been subject to various external issues as documented in 311 calls, including parking enforcement matters and sidewalk maintenance concerns, with some issues remaining open as of 2022. A complaint regarding unauthorized short-term rental use was also filed and closed in the planning records. The property has been generally responsive to safety and maintenance requirements, with most recent improvements focusing on fire safety systems and unit modernization.

Risk rating

How 778-782 7Th 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.
