Initial analysis

The property at 220-224 6th Street is a 3-story, 5-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1914, currently owned by A Star Holdings LLC. The building has undergone several significant renovations and improvements over the years, with the most recent work including a health inspection by the Department of Public Health in December 2024. Recent maintenance issues have included multiple instances of graffiti removal (December 2024) and a collapsed sidewalk with missing utility vault cover that was addressed in December 2024. The building's fire safety systems have required regular attention, with documented complaints in 2024 and 2023 regarding extinguishers and sprinkler systems, both of which were corrected. Previous fire safety concerns included violations in 2019 for fire escapes, alarm systems, and emergency lighting, all of which were subsequently addressed.

Historical records show the building has faced various maintenance and safety challenges, particularly in the early 2000s and through the 2010s. These included multiple fire safety violations (2012-2019) involving blocked exits, combustible materials, and alarm system issues. The building underwent substantial physical improvements between 2005-2006, including storefront modifications and foundation repairs. Several tenant buyouts were recorded in 2020, with payments of $50,000 and $3,400 to individual tenants. The property's maintenance history shows prompt response to most violations, with most being marked as "Abated" following corrections. Recent 311 calls in late 2024 primarily addressed external maintenance issues such as garbage disposal, graffiti, and sidewalk conditions. The building's management has generally addressed safety concerns as they arise, though the frequency of fire safety violations suggests ongoing monitoring of such systems is necessary.

Risk rating

How 220-224 6Th St'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.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

Building size

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

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 25.8%
Moderate concern 69.5%
Severe concern 4.7%
