Initial analysis

The property at 1384 8th Avenue in the Inner Sunset is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1912, currently owned by the Young Trust. The building recently experienced a fire incident that caused damage to a water closet, though no structural damage was reported. As of December 2024, permits have been issued for significant repairs including new drywall installation, electrical work (new lighting and GFCI installation), plumbing updates (toilet water line and flange replacement), and window replacement in the affected half-bathroom, with an estimated cost of $10,000 for these improvements.

The building's history shows several maintenance and infrastructure improvements over the years, including a front brick repair near the garage door in 1990, roofing work in 1994, and scaffold use in 2010. A notable safety concern was reported in November 2016 regarding an oversized heat vent grill leading directly to the boiler, though this complaint is currently listed as not active. The property has had a number of street-related maintenance issues documented through 311 calls between 2019 and 2024, primarily involving general street cleaning, loose garbage, and waste removal, though none of these directly indicate internal building issues. The most recent service calls have been resolved by city agencies, with the most recent being a street cleaning matter in September 2024.

Risk rating

How 1384 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.
