Initial analysis

The residential property at 728-730 8th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood is a 2-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1913, currently owned by the Beth Goldstein Living Trust. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade, including a recent bathroom remodel (scheduled for completion in 2024 at a cost of $20,552) and multiple window replacement projects. In 2019, visible street-facing windows were replaced with aluminum-clad alternatives, following earlier window upgrades in 2015 and 2013 that improved both front and rear facades. Important systems upgrades include the replacement of two forced air furnaces and exhaust flue modifications in 2018, sewer and house trap replacement in 2013, and a complete reroofing project in 2012.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to structural integrity, particularly with underpinning work undertaken in 2006 in response to adjacent construction. However, there have been recurring issues with building exit accessibility documented as fire complaints between 2014-2019, though most were resolved promptly, with two incidents found to have no merit. Recent activity has centered around waste management concerns, with multiple reports of overflowing city garbage cans in late 2023, though these were consistently resolved through city intervention. The property experienced one tenant buyout in April 2022, with compensation of $37,500 to one tenant, though no details about the unit's current occupancy status are available.

Risk rating

How 728-730 8Th 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

Out of 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 293 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 86.4%
Moderate concern 10.5%
Severe concern 3.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
