Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 19 Ashbury Street in Park North, owned by Gordon and Tammie Yee, was constructed in 1921 and contains two units. The building has a documented history of maintenance and repairs dating back to 1982, including a complete renovation in 1988 that addressed hardwood floors, windows, doors, sheetrock, and painting. A reroofing project was initiated in 1994, though records show this permit expired, and a street space permit was issued in 2008.

The most pressing recent issue has been a significant pattern of parking enforcement incidents, particularly in 2024, with multiple reports of driveway blockages resulting in citations or other enforcement actions between June and December. In August 2024, there was one documented incident of sewage back-up discharge from a side sewer vent that required field work by PUC Sewer Operations. A fire alarm was triggered at some point (date not specified) but investigation revealed it was unintentional with no fires or civilian injuries reported. The property appears to be actively maintained, given the historical permits for various improvements, though the frequency of parking-related incidents and the recent sewer issue may be of note to current and prospective tenants.

Risk rating

How 19 Ashbury 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.

Neighborhood percentile
63th percentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 295 are predicted to be safer.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

Property class: multi-family flat

2–4 unit flats (class F) are a common SF building type with their own maintenance and complaint patterns.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.
