Initial analysis

The property at 1469-1471 8th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1991 and currently owned by the Pik Kwan Li Revocable Living Trust. The building's documented history shows several significant structural modifications and maintenance activities, beginning with vertical and horizontal additions completed in 1989, followed by various internal layout changes in 1990, and a reroofing project completed in 2016. A notable attempted modification occurred in late 2020 when there was an attempt to convert part of the basement into an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) with an estimated cost of $150,000, though this permit was ultimately cancelled.

The property has experienced consistent street-related issues in its vicinity, with multiple 311 calls recorded between 2008 and 2023. Recent concerns, including reports of human or animal waste (October 2023) and loose garbage (July 2022), indicate ongoing challenges with street maintenance in the immediate area. There have also been several parking-related incidents, including a sidewalk parking complaint (February 2022) and an abandoned vehicle report (May 2021), though enforcement responses were unable to locate the offending vehicles. Historical infrastructure issues are evident from three documented pavement defect reports in 2008, 2009, and 2010, suggesting ongoing street maintenance needs in the vicinity of the building.

Risk rating

How 1469-1471 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
95th percentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 75 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.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

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 90.7%
Moderate concern 7.0%
Severe concern 2.3%
