Initial analysis

The three-unit apartment building at 103-109 22nd Avenue, owned by Ho Jihshin, has undergone extensive renovations and improvements between 2022 and 2024, with substantial work focused on unit modernization and safety upgrades. Recent improvements include a $65,000 kitchen remodel (2023) with new cabinets and countertops, bathroom remodeling, and the addition of a second half bathroom. The property saw significant electrical improvements in 2022-2024, including the installation of new sub-panels, removal of knob-and-tube wiring, and installation of modern circuits for various appliances and systems. Plumbing upgrades were also substantial, with new rough plumbing installations and the recent addition of laundry facilities in 2024.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to structural and safety issues, with past violations from 2008 related to fire safety and plumbing permits, though these were resolved by November 2008. The property has been subject to routine housing inspections in 1996, 2003, and 2008, with all issues being addressed. Recent building permits indicate ongoing improvements, including a $0.00 permit filed in April 2024 for laundry setup. The location has experienced recurring parking issues, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in late 2024 regarding illegal parking and driveway blocking. While there have been two fire-related incidents recorded as false alarms, there have been no serious fire safety issues reported in recent years, and all historical violations and complaints have been addressed and closed.

Risk rating

How 103-109 22Nd 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
54th percentile

Out of 660 buildings in this neighborhood, 304 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Property class: tenancy in common

Tenancy-in-common ownership structure, which has distinct maintenance and management patterns.

Building age

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 80.3%
Moderate concern 11.7%
Severe concern 8.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
