Initial analysis

The property at 1801 8th Avenue is a 5-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1948, currently owned by the George & Doris Crescio Trust. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, with the most recent work occurring in December 2024, involving a bathroom renovation in Unit 4 that includes new tiles, fixtures, and plumbing work. Major safety upgrades were completed between 2015-2017 in response to a series of fire and safety violations filed in January 2008, which included the installation of a secondary means of egress, new balusters, illuminated exit signs, fire-rated doors, and the completion of a mandatory soft-story retrofit at a cost of $121,000. The building has maintained compliance with safety standards since these improvements, with the final violations being officially abated in September 2024.

Historical maintenance records show regular upkeep of the property, including window replacements in 2020 (completed) and garage door upgrades in 2008 (completed). Recent 311 calls to the property have primarily concerned parking enforcement issues, with multiple citations issued for sidewalk parking violations between September 2024 and January 2025, though these are not directly related to building safety or maintenance. A tree root issue affecting the sidewalk was reported in December 2024 and remains open. The property has no active fire safety concerns, and all required improvements have been completed to meet current building codes.

Risk rating

How 1801 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, 1209 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.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 49.7%
Moderate concern 19.4%
Severe concern 30.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
