Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 757-759 7th Avenue in the Inner Richmond neighborhood, constructed in 1911 and currently owned by Yu Arthur John & Charoenying, has undergone significant renovations and faced several challenges over the past decades. Most recently, in 2023, comprehensive electrical and bathroom remodeling work was completed in Unit 759, including rewiring, installation of a new subpanel, and plumbing updates costing $40,000. The building has seen substantial infrastructure improvements since 2021, including complete electrical system upgrades to replace deteriorated knobb and tube wiring, kitchen and bathroom renovations, and plumbing replacements to address deteriorated galvanized pipes, with related permits totaling $40,000. Other notable renovations include a 2019 window replacement project installing seven energy-efficient windows, and multiple roofing projects, with the most recent roofing work permitted in 2021 at $37,600.

The property has a history of building violations and regulatory scrutiny, particularly in 2015-2016 when multiple issues were identified including concerns about carbon monoxide and smoke alarms, fire safety requirements, structural maintenance, and the need for proper weatherproofing and fireproofing. These violations were all officially abated by February 2016. Earlier routine inspections in 2010 had also revealed various maintenance needs including concerns about lead-based paint, fire proofing, weatherproofing, and window repairs, which were subsequently addressed. Recent maintenance records show ongoing attention to building systems and infrastructure, with the most recent permits indicating continued investment in modernizing the building's facilities, particularly in terms of electrical and plumbing systems. The property has experienced periodic issues with graffiti and minor maintenance needs on the exterior, as documented in 311 calls, though these are typical for the area and have been consistently addressed through proper channels.

Risk rating

How 757-759 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.
