Initial analysis

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 376-380 31st Avenue in the Central Richmond district, owned by Raynell H. and Mildred B. Lee, was constructed in 1915 and stands two stories tall. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most substantial being a 2009-2013 project that included a horizontal addition for unit 380, installation of 19 fire sprinkler heads, and various interior renovations costing approximately $74,000. Other notable improvements include garage door replacement in 2018 ($2,800), reroofing in 2014 ($9,700), and multiple interior modifications in 1996. A concerning active complaint from March 2019 alleges unauthorized demolition work on the first floor, described as "shady construction in the garage" with dangerous equipment on the sidewalk, though this issue appears to have received a permit for investigation.

The building has experienced several routine housing inspections, with a significant cluster of violations recorded in August 2008 related to safety and maintenance requirements, including missing handrails, fire extinguishers, and gas meter instructions - though all these violations were abated by October 2008. Recent building history shows proper attention to fire safety improvements, with a complete installation of a new fire sprinkler system in 2013 and associated electrical and plumbing work. While the property has maintained active permits for various improvements, including the recent inspection of unauthorized work, the building's historical record indicates regular maintenance and upgrading of systems, particularly focusing on safety features such as sprinklers and structural improvements.

Risk rating

How 376-380 31St 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

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.

Building age

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 54.9%
Moderate concern 32.9%
Severe concern 12.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
