Initial analysis

The 110-112 21st Avenue property is a well-maintained, 2-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1915, containing three units and owned by Ung Muki Lok & Lindsey M. The building has undergone significant recent improvements, with major renovations completed or in progress in both 2023 and 2024. The most recent work involves remodeling and expanding the ground floor housekeeping unit (112B), including modifications to the garage door, electrical system updates, and window replacements, with associated plumbing and electrical work permitted in February 2024. In 2020-2021, substantial upgrades were made to the top floor unit (110), including window replacements, HVAC and electrical system updates, kitchen and bathroom remodels, bedroom reconfigurations, and the addition of skylights.

The property has seen consistent maintenance and modernization efforts over the past several decades, including the installation of a solar panel system (6.12 kW) in early 2022, a complete reroofing in 2003, and various structural improvements in the early 1990s such as a horizontal addition and stairway repairs. The building's infrastructure has been regularly updated to meet modern standards, with recent work including kitchen and bathroom remodels, solar panel installations, and electrical system upgrades. While there have been some recent reports of street-related issues near the property, such as parking violations and sidewalk cleanliness concerns (most of which were resolved through citations or service requests), these are external to the building itself and do not appear to directly impact the property's condition or resident experience.

Risk rating

How 110-112 21St 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
