Initial analysis

The property at 1423-1425 8th Avenue is a two-unit, two-story residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood. Built in 1928, this flats and duplex structure has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over its lifetime. The most recent major work was completed in 2012 with a $9,850 reroofing project, while earlier improvements include kitchen and bathroom remodeling in both units (1983), brick veneer repairs (1990), and termite remediation (1988). Window replacements were permitted in 2000 for 13 windows, though records show this permit expired without completion.

The building's recent history (2016-2024) shows some recurring neighborhood issues, though none directly related to the building's structural integrity or resident safety. These include multiple instances of driveway blocking (two cases in 2022 and 2023), seasonal Christmas tree removals from the street (2022, 2024), and several graffiti incidents affecting nearby infrastructure. A non-offensive graffiti report was documented in September 2024, which was resolved when no graffiti was found upon inspection. The building's maintenance record suggests regular upkeep of major systems, with the most recent roof replacement indicating ongoing attention to building infrastructure.

Risk rating

How 1423-1425 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
83th percentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 254 are predicted to be safer.
