Initial analysis

The Duplex located at 378-380 25th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood is a two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1915, currently owned by the Loftus Family Trust. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, with the most substantial renovations occurring between 2012-2014, including comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodels in both units, electrical rewiring, and plumbing updates totaling over $84,000 in improvements. Structural maintenance work was performed in 2013 with voluntary steel beam strengthening at the garage footings, and previous renovations include window replacement in 2004 and vinyl siding installation in 1986.

Recent history from 2024 shows ongoing maintenance needs in the surrounding area, particularly concerning tree maintenance, with multiple reports of damaged trees and landscaping issues logged in June and July 2024. There have been several reports of abandoned furniture and debris on the property, with six such incidents recorded between April and October 2024, though these were primarily related to street cleaning issues rather than building condition concerns. Two fire incidents were recorded at the property in recent years, including an unintentional alarm and a contained cooking fire, neither of which resulted in civilian injuries. The building has generally received regular maintenance and upgrades, with proper permits obtained for all significant improvements, though some older permits from 2003 and 1986 are listed as expired.

Risk rating

How 378-380 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 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 1328 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.

Building age

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

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 79.2%
Moderate concern 15.9%
Severe concern 4.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
