Initial analysis

The 4-unit, 2-story apartment building at 275 25th Avenue, owned by Cramilton Investments LLC, was constructed in 1952 and has undergone several significant updates and faced various challenges over its history. Most notably, in February 2022, the building received a substantial electrical upgrade, improving its service from 100A to 200A, with the installation of new residential metering equipment and sub-panels for all units and common areas. The building experienced a serious incident in October 2014, when there was flooding in the kitchen ceiling resulting in visible mold, though this issue was resolved by May 2015. Three sets of fire-related violations were documented between 2001 and 2008, including concerns about fire extinguisher maintenance, combustible storage, and smoke detector requirements, all of which were addressed by their respective abatement dates, with the most recent violations being resolved in 2008.

The property's more recent history has been relatively stable, with the only notable issues being a hoarding/cluttering complaint in 2015 and some exterior maintenance concerns including tree root damage to the sidewalk (reported in April 2022, currently open) and an overflowing city garbage can (reported and resolved in January 2025). A building permit was issued in September 2019 for street space work with a minimal cost of $1. While there was a smoke detector activation recorded, it was determined to be due to malfunction with no civilian injuries reported. The building has maintained periodic inspections, with the most recent routine inspection showing no apparent violations.

Risk rating

How 275 25Th 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 660 buildings in this neighborhood, 502 are predicted to be safer.
