Initial analysis

The property at 1310-1312 6th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Sunset district is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1908, currently owned by James & Ruby Kit Fung Cheng. The building has undergone several significant structural improvements over the years, most notably in 2013 when a central wood beam was replaced with a steel beam on the ground floor, and during the same period, there was an attempt to upgrade the water service connection from the street, although that permit ultimately expired. More recently, in March 2019, the house trap was replaced, marking the most recent major plumbing work on the property.

The building's maintenance and repair history shows attention to both structural and safety concerns, including a cement stairway repair in 1990 and interior updates to the kitchen and bathroom in 1988. The property has experienced multiple 311 calls in recent years, primarily related to parking violations, with several reports of vehicles blocking sidewalks and driveways between 2020 and 2024. Other issues have included street cleaning needs, a graffiti incident on AT&T property in October 2023, and a sidewalk defect report in September 2023 (which was ultimately determined to be related to a neighboring address). The building's documented history suggests regular maintenance and infrastructure upgrades, with the most critical structural work occurring in 2013, while more recent issues have primarily involved external factors such as parking violations and street maintenance concerns rather than problems with the building itself.

Risk rating

How 1310-1312 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
64th percentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 537 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.

Building age

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 80.9%
Moderate concern 12.5%
Severe concern 6.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
