Initial analysis

The property at 1204-1210 6th Avenue is a 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1923 and currently owned by St Francis Properties LLC. The building has undergone significant renovations and faced several challenges over the past few years, with the most substantial work occurring in 2018-2019. Major improvements included a comprehensive unit remodel of kitchen, bathrooms, and laundry facilities in September 2018 (costing $100,871), followed by window replacements in April 2019 ($8,000) and HVAC upgrades with a new furnace installation in March 2019. The property experienced several violations and complaints in late 2018, primarily related to construction work, including issues with peeling paint, inadequate heating, and problems with lead paint concerns, though these were generally abated by November 2018. A significant tenant buyout occurred in July 2018 for unit 1210, involving three tenants and costing $80,000.

More recent maintenance and improvements include various electrical and plumbing upgrades, such as sewer lateral replacement and new lighting installations, with the most recent building permit activity recorded in 2019. The property is currently facing several external maintenance issues as noted in 311 calls from 2022-2024, including concerns about a collapsed sidewalk (September 2024), an overgrown tree blocking a traffic signal (September 2024), and a defaced parking sign (December 2024). Historical records show earlier improvements including reroofing in 1994 and dry rot repairs in 1997, while violations from 1986 regarding a workshop removal in the garage were properly addressed. A fire incident was recorded in the building's history, but it was an unintentional alarm system activation with no injuries or damage reported.

Risk rating

How 1204-1210 6Th 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.

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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

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.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 71.6%
Moderate concern 12.5%
Severe concern 15.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
