Initial analysis

The 2-story, 4-unit multi-family residential building at 777 7th Ave in the Inner Richmond, constructed in 1924 and currently owned by the Angela Coo Survivors Trust, has undergone several maintenance and improvement projects over the years, with records showing window replacements, reroofing, and interior renovations in the 1980s through 1999. A significant cluster of fire safety violations was documented in December 2015, including issues with fire extinguishers, egress obstructions, and the need for smoke/carbon monoxide alarms, though all these violations were abated by February 2016. The building underwent a routine inspection in 2010, and had some tenant complaints addressed, including a 1995 complaint regarding delayed interior painting in one apartment.

Recent activity at the property includes a 2023 complaint about unauthorized business operation and signage, though this was quickly resolved. The surrounding area has experienced recurring parking enforcement issues, particularly regarding driveway blocking, with multiple citations issued between 2020-2022, and several abandoned vehicle reports, though these issues are external to the building itself. The most recent building-related activity was a parking complaint from May 2024. Given the nature of the violations and their resolution history, the main focus for prospective tenants should be on the building's age and general maintenance history, which shows periodic upkeep but no major recent renovations or improvements on record.

Risk rating

How 777 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.
