Initial analysis

The three-story twin residential building at 1282-1284 8th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood is a multi-family residential structure built in 1912, classified as a Flats & Duplex, currently owned by Wilbert Fong. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the years, including a kitchen remodel with cabinet and stove replacement in 2002 (cost: $10,000), reroofing work in 1991, and an unspecified exterior work in 1989. The most recent building-related activity occurred in July 2012 with the issuance of street space and MTA parking permits, though the cost was listed as only $1.

The property has experienced various maintenance and operational issues in recent years, with the most notable being a sewage backup discharge from the side sewer vent in October 2024. There have been recurring parking-related challenges in the vicinity, including multiple incidents of driveway blocking between 2019-2024, with varying outcomes in enforcement response. Other parking enforcement issues have been documented, such as sidewalk parking in July 2018 and an abandoned vehicle case in December 2018. The building's surroundings have required occasional attention to street cleanliness and waste management, as evidenced by reports of overflowing city garbage cans in 2016 and general cleaning needs in 2017, though these issues were resolved through municipal intervention.

Risk rating

How 1282-1284 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
