Initial analysis

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building located at 1502-1508 8th Avenue in the Inner Sunset was built in 1923 and is currently owned by the Gregory F Chun Trust. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past decade, most notably in 2018 when extensive repairs were needed for exterior side wall dry rot affecting approximately 200 square feet, along with work on tub tile enclosure framing. The building's infrastructure has been progressively upgraded, including a complete electrical system overhaul in 2004-2006 that installed new service panels, circuits, and laundry system outlets. A sewer line repair was completed at the sidewalk in 2012.

Recent concerns primarily revolve around the building's exterior conditions, with multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding parking violations and sidewalk defects, including issues with lifted sidewalks due to tree roots (opened accepted status). The building has maintained compliance with housing inspections, with only routine inspections noted in 2001 and 2007-2010, and there are no current building code violations on record. A combustible materials fire complaint was filed in 2008 but was promptly corrected within two months. The most recent fire-related incident recorded was an unintentional alarm system activation with no fire or injuries. The property's maintenance history suggests regular upkeep, with significant repairs being addressed promptly as needed, though the recent pattern of parking issues in the vicinity may be of interest to current and prospective residents.

Risk rating

How 1502-1508 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, 1090 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 location

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 43.3%
Moderate concern 23.7%
Severe concern 33.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
