Initial analysis

The property at 1210 7th Avenue in the Inner Sunset is a three-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1990, currently undergoing significant renovations to increase its unit count and modernize safety systems. Recent major improvements include the installation of new fire safety systems, with permits issued in 2023-2025 for a new ADU at the ground floor, legalization of an unauthorized fourth-floor unit, full seismic upgrades, and comprehensive fire safety improvements including new sprinklers throughout the building and a new automatic fire alarm system. The building has approximately 3-4 units, with the owner seeking to add additional living spaces through ADU conversion.

The property has experienced several notable events and concerns in recent years, including two building complaints in 2022 regarding an unauthorized unit (#A) that was allegedly constructed without proper permits, which remains an active housing inspection case as of 2022. There was also a construction-related noise complaint in April 2024 that was resolved within four days. The building has an established fire safety history, as evidenced by 1989 permits for garage sprinklers and fire escape work, with recent permits showing continued investment in safety systems. External maintenance records show periodic issues such as sidewalk parking violations and encampment concerns in the vicinity, though these are typical for the urban area and have been generally resolved through appropriate channels. The current renovation work is substantial, with investments in modern amenities including mini-split heat pump systems and upgraded electrical features such as dimmers and motion sensors, suggesting significant improvements to both safety and resident comfort.

Risk rating

How 1210 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

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 806 are predicted to be safer.
