Initial analysis

This two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building at 329 25th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood was constructed in 1988 and is currently owned by Rhoda Tang. The property has undergone significant improvements over recent years, with substantial renovations including kitchen and bathroom remodels in Units 1 and 2 (2021-2022), new siding installation (2019), and roofing work completed in both 2021 and 2005. The building received a comprehensive update to its safety systems in 2002-2003, addressing multiple fire safety and smoke detection requirements, though all violations were properly abated by January 2003. The property has maintained regular upkeep, featuring new windows installed in 2013 and various unit-specific improvements such as flooring installation in Unit 1 (2017) and kitchen remodels in all three units over successive years.

Recent maintenance activity has focused on unit improvements and system upgrades, with no active building violations on record since 2003. The building's parking situation appears to be a recurring challenge, with numerous citations issued for driveway blocking from May 2024 through January 2025, though these are handling issues primarily related to street parking rather than building maintenance or safety concerns. The property's extensive renovation history suggests regular investment in maintaining and upgrading the building, with particular attention to modernizing unit amenities and maintaining essential systems. All permit work has been completed as of October 2023, with no outstanding construction or safety issues on record.

Risk rating

How 329 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.
