Initial analysis

The property at 1452-1454 8th Avenue is a two-story, multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood, constructed in 1909 and currently owned by the Mckeever Trust. The building has a complex history of unauthorized modifications and maintenance issues, most notably regarding illegal dwelling units. In 2008, a significant building violation was filed concerning an unauthorized studio apartment addition and various safety and building code violations, including improper occupancy, unapproved plumbing and electrical work, and questions about fire-resistant construction materials. This violation was eventually abated in 2012, though concerns regarding an attic illegal unit reemerged in 2013 and remain active as of 2015. The building underwent several permitted improvements between 2009 and 2013, including dry rot repairs to rear exit stairs, electrical upgrades, and a reroofing project.

Historical complaints indicate recurring maintenance issues, including water damage and plumbing problems, with significant concerns about the attic space being used as an illegal unit. More recent maintenance records show multiple 311 calls regarding general cleaning and parking violations in the vicinity of the property, though these are external to the building itself. The most recent building permit activity was the reroofing project completed in 2013. While some past violations and complaints have been resolved, the property has a documented history of unauthorized modifications and maintenance issues dating back to at least 1997, with particular scrutiny of its attic and basement spaces. The building's use classification as Flats & Duplex suggests it was originally designed as a two-unit building, with various unauthorized modifications having occurred since its construction.

Risk rating

How 1452-1454 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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Building age

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