Initial analysis

The 4-unit multi-family residential building at 1547 8th Ave in the Inner Sunset, owned by Annna & Kan Toy Ab Living T, was constructed in 1966 as a 2-story apartment complex. The building has undergone several significant inspections and maintenance events over its history, most notably a series of fire safety violations in February 2003 that were promptly addressed by March 12, 2003, including the installation of battery-operated smoke detectors, removal of combustible materials from the garage, and proper posting of gas meter instructions. More recently, in 2023, there was a complaint filed regarding window leaks and mold issues, though this case has been marked as not active.

The building's maintenance history includes a reroofing project from 1996, though this permit has since expired. Since 2024, there have been multiple reports of parking issues in the vicinity, including abandoned vehicles, sidewalk parking, and blocked driveways, with varying degrees of resolution. Additionally, there have been two reports of waste issues on the street or sidewalk in 2024. Of particular note is a gas leak incident recorded in the building's history, though there were no civilian injuries reported. The property has undergone routine inspections in 2001, 2003, and 2010, suggesting regular oversight by housing authorities, though specific outcomes of these inspections are not detailed in the available records.

Risk rating

How 1547 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, 1165 are predicted to be safer.
