Initial analysis

The 6-unit apartment building at 1338 8th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood is managed by Aoe 1338 LLC and was constructed in 1961. The two-story multi-family residential building has undergone significant safety improvements, most notably completing a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2018 at a cost of $120,000, which brought the building into compliance with seismic safety requirements. This work was completed successfully and included the addition of a new window in the laundry room, and the building received its Certificate of Final Completion (CFC).

The building's safety record shows several required improvements and routine inspections over the years. In 2002, multiple fire safety violations were addressed promptly, including issues with fire escape ladders, fire extinguisher maintenance, and garbage receptacle placement. A 2010 inspection noted the need for a central alarm system and security improvements, which were subsequently resolved. More recent routine inspections in 2018 showed no active violations. The property has experienced various maintenance issues typical for its age, including sewer-related concerns in 2016 and 2017, and tree root problems affecting sidewalks. Recent 311 calls have primarily been related to parking enforcement on or near the property, with no reported incidents of structural safety concerns or significant building systems failures. Two fire incidents have been recorded: a contained cooking fire and a malfunctioning alarm system, neither resulting in civilian injuries.

Risk rating

How 1338 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.

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.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

Building age

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 41.9%
Moderate concern 19.2%
Severe concern 39.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
