Initial analysis

8 Admiral Avenue is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building with ground-floor retail space, constructed in 1928 and currently owned by Qiu Qi Hang. The property has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over the past decade, with the most recent concerns emerging in 2017, when tenants reported heating system problems, window malfunctions, and mold issues. Between 2013-2014, multiple violations were documented, including problems with an unauthorized garage conversion to assembly use, illegal unit occupancy, and various safety deficiencies such as missing smoke detectors, window latch issues, and heating system failures. These violations prompted several repair requirements, including stair repairs in 2014 and gas heating system repairs in 2013, all of which were subsequently completed.

More recent improvements to the property include an accessibility upgrade to the ground floor entrance completed in 2019 and a sign refacing project completed in 2023. The building's history also shows recurring issues with parking enforcement and street maintenance, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls regarding blocked driveways and garbage removal between 2024 and 2025. While all historical building violations have been addressed, there have been recent service calls for utility-related issues, including a downed power line and a general service request, neither of which resulted in civilian injuries. The property remains actively monitored through regular maintenance and compliance updates, with ongoing attention to exterior features such as signage and entrance accessibility.

Risk rating

How 8 Admiral 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.
