Initial analysis

The property at 254-256 24th Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1925, currently owned by Stephen B. Cuneo Trustee. The building is experiencing significant active housing code violations as of 2023, with multiple outstanding issues documented between April and September 2023, including problems with damaged walls, electrical outlets, windows, kitchen appliances, stairs, ceilings, and concerns about lead paint hazards. The violations were formally documented through Notices of Violation (NOV) starting May 9, 2023, with final warning letters issued June 13, 2023, and a director hearing scheduled for September 28, 2023. A related complaint filed on May 8, 2023, noted concerns about improperly fitting windows and loose electrical fittings.

The building has a history of sewer issues, with multiple reports of sewage backup incidents in 2018-2019, though city records indicate these were cancelled service requests. A reroofing project was permitted in 1998, but this permit has since expired. The property has experienced recurring parking-related issues in the vicinity, with several complaints about vehicles blocking driveways and sidewalks between 2018 and 2024, though these are not directly related to the building's condition. Given the age of the structure and the current extensive list of active housing code violations, the property requires significant maintenance and repairs to address these outstanding safety and habitability concerns.

Risk rating

How 254-256 24Th 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.
