Initial analysis

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 1418 8th Avenue in the Inner Sunset, owned by the Robinson Family Trust, has undergone several significant maintenance and safety improvements since its construction in 1924. Most recently, in 2013, the property received a major upgrade with the installation of 57 new windows, including front-facing fiberglass windows that meet modern energy efficiency standards. Previous substantial work includes a complete reroofing in 2012 ($17,000), and in 2009, the building underwent dry rot repairs costing $15,545. The building's maintenance history shows attention to both safety and structural integrity, particularly following inspections that identified multiple issues requiring prompt resolution.

The property has undergone three routine housing inspections between 1999 and 2010, with the most significant findings occurring during the 2002 inspection. This inspection revealed multiple safety concerns including the need for smoke detectors, repairs to the south stairs' wood, handrail installations, and fire safety improvements in the garage area - all of which were subsequently addressed and abated by May 17, 2002. The 2010 routine inspection resulted in additional requirements for handrails and water heater modifications, though these were also resolved by August 2010. More recent records indicate minimal major issues, though there was a sewage backup incident in March 2020 that was promptly addressed and resolved. The building's maintenance history, particularly the recent window replacements and compliance with safety inspections, suggests ongoing attention to both habitability and resident safety, with no active violations currently on record.

Risk rating

How 1418 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.
