Initial analysis

The 8-unit multi-family residential building at 22 Margrave Place in Telegraph Hill is a three-story structure built in 1910, currently owned by the Joo Kwan & Sau Ying Yee Rev trust. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the years, most notably a completed re-roofing project with torch down materials in November 2024 costing $14,000, and a substantial electrical upgrade in 2008 that included a 200A, 240V main service installation with nine meters. The property was brought up to code in 1986, demonstrating attention to regulatory compliance.

The building has been subject to routine housing inspections in 2001, 2005, and 2010, with all cases marked as Not Active. A significant maintenance issue was reported in January 2017, involving holes around gas lines in the kitchen and bathroom that raised concerns about pest entry, though this complaint is currently listed as Not Active. The property's external environment has experienced some urban challenges, with a 2020 report of an encampment near the building that was addressed through a cleanup operation, and there have been two street-related service requests in 2009 and 2017 that were resolved by PG&E. The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep and attention to major systems, with the most recent permit activity focusing on roof replacement, suggesting ongoing investment in the property's infrastructure.

Risk rating

How 22 Margrave Pl'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
