Initial analysis

The two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 742 7th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood was constructed in 1923 and is currently owned by the Overton Family Trust. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade, with the most recent major work including a roof replacement in 2022 (cost: $11,000) and the complete replacement of sewer and house traps in the same year. In 2015-2016, substantial interior renovations were completed on the second floor, including kitchen and bathroom remodels, installation of insulation, sheetrock work, and updates to the electrical system (including a new 200-amp service installation). A concerning incident was reported in October 2020 when residents filed a complaint about significant mold issues, including water intrusion and a fungus problem, though this complaint currently shows as not active in the system.

The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, with records dating back to 1987 when a horizontal extension/room addition was completed. More recent improvements include garage fireproofing work in 2016 and siding installation in 2017. The property has experienced persistent issues with parking violations, particularly regarding driveway blocking, with multiple citations issued between 2020 and 2024. While not directly related to the building's condition, these parking concerns indicate ongoing challenges with public space management in the immediate area. The presence of multiple parking enforcement calls and one environmental health complaint in 2020 are worth noting, though they relate more to neighborhood conditions than the building itself. The property's permit history suggests regular maintenance and upgrading of systems, with no major structural or safety issues reported in recent years beyond the 2020 mold incident.

Risk rating

How 742 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.

Neighborhood percentile
