Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 54-58 Richardson Avenue, owned by Elaine Yee Revocable Living Trust, is a 2-story structure built in 1938 in San Francisco's Marina neighborhood. The property has experienced several significant events over the past decades, with the most recent being a series of maintenance and repair work completed in 2019, including painting, stucco patching, window repairs, and roofing work totaling $13,500. Notable incidents include multiple instances of exterior damage repairs, particularly from vehicle collisions in 2010 and 2018, when approximately 100 square feet of siding and stucco damage required attention. The building underwent water damage repairs in 2017, which included electrical work and the installation of two water heaters, though there was initially some controversy regarding permits that generated violations.

The property has had various maintenance issues requiring attention, including compliance with lead paint regulations, exterior wall repairs, and building code violations related to a barbed wire fence in 2021. There were also neighborhood concerns about construction work being performed without proper permits in 2017-2018, including gas-related issues that were promptly addressed. While there have been several 311 calls regarding the property's immediate surroundings, including reports of debris and external maintenance matters, most internal and building system issues have been addressed through appropriate permits and repairs. The building's history shows regular maintenance and repair work, with particular attention paid to exterior surfaces, water systems, and electrical systems. Recent exterior maintenance work completed in 2019 demonstrates ongoing upkeep of the building's critical systems and surfaces.

Risk rating

How 54-58 Richardson 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 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 267 are predicted to be safer.
