Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1857 8th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1956, currently owned by the Carmen Llama Revocable Living Trust. The property's documented history includes several maintenance and permit records, with the most recent activity being a street space permit issued in March 2013 with an extremely nominal cost of $1.00. Historical records show reroofing work and window replacements were completed in 1992-1993, though these permits have since expired.

The building has experienced recurring issues with parking violations in recent years, particularly concerning vehicles parking on sidewalks, with three documented incidents in 2023-2024. Two separate reports of abandoned vehicles in 2012-2013 were investigated but resolved with the vehicles being gone upon officers' arrival. The property has undergone various planning processes, including two applications for a rear yard variance to construct a two-story over-basement addition, though these applications were ultimately disapproved. The only recorded fire-related incident was an unremarkable false alarm situation with no civilian injuries reported. While the building's maintenance history shows basic upkeep through the 1990s, the absence of recent major improvements or violations suggests relative stability in terms of structural and safety concerns.

Risk rating

How 1857 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.
