Initial analysis

The 2-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building at 1370 8th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood was built in 1964 and is currently owned by Philip Shiu-wai Yee and Nancy. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past two decades, most notably regarding exterior siding maintenance. Between 2015 and 2017, the building received various siding upgrades, including the installation of Hardee siding on the right side and vinyl siding on the rear wall, along with repairs to stucco siding. Structural maintenance has included the replacement of a rotten beam in 2017, while the electrical system received an upgrade with a 200-amp service installation completed in 2005.

The building experienced two routine housing inspections in 2001 and 2007, which identified several issues related to interior surfaces and fire safety systems, including damaged walls and ceilings, fire escape egress obstructions, and missing hardware on smoke enclosure doors. All violations were abated, with the last known resolution occurring in January 2008. More recently, there were two sewer backup incidents reported in February 2021 and a noise complaint in 2022. A carbon monoxide incident was recorded, though no civilian injuries were reported, and there was one expired reroofing permit from 1998. The building's recent maintenance history shows regular upkeep, though the presence of two sewer incidents within a short timeframe in 2021 may warrant attention to the building's plumbing infrastructure.

Risk rating

How 1370 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.
