Initial analysis

The property at 1342 8th Ave in the Inner Sunset is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1920, currently owned by Tina P Hom. The building has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance work over the past two decades, with the most recent major work being an issued permit in August 2024 for substantial exterior improvements including stucco replacement and window upgrades at a cost of $45,000. Previous improvements include kitchen renovations in units #1 and #4 (2004 and 1999 respectively), a reroofing project (2006), and structural repairs to a ground floor storage room (1998 and 1999) involving damaged post and girder repairs.

The building has experienced one notable incident requiring attention to safety compliance in early 2010, resulting in multiple citations that were all abated by May 2010. These violations included requirements for handrail installation, reinforcement of interior entry door glazing, and addressing combustible storage issues or providing automatic fire sprinklers - all of which were subsequently resolved. The building has maintained regular housing inspections in 1999, 2002, and 2010, and while there have been numerous reports of parking enforcement issues related to driveway blocking on the property (with ten calls between September 2024 and January 2025 resulting in several citations), these are parking-related matters and not directly related to the building's condition or safety systems.

Risk rating

How 1342 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.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 1000 are predicted to be safer.
