Initial analysis

The two-story mixed-use building at 207-211 23rd Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by Golden Star Laundry Inc, was constructed in 1916 and contains 4 residential units plus commercial space. The property underwent significant transformation in 2017-2018, when the former laundromat space (approximately 2,053 sq ft) was converted into a restaurant (Vecina) with a substantial renovation budget of $225,000, including kitchen installation, seating area, bar, and accessible facilities. This conversion project also included the installation of a fire suppression system for hoods and ducts, electrical upgrades with a 400A service, and various plumbing improvements. The building has experienced recurring fire safety concerns, with multiple fire code violations documented in 2024 that were subsequently corrected, along with three fire complaints between 2019-2024 related to operating without the proper permits or other unspecified issues.

Recent improvements to the building include the installation of automatic door operators in December 2023 to comply with accessibility requirements. The property has had several infrastructure updates, including a water heater installation in 2021 and various plumbing and electrical works between 2012-2021. There were two notable building violations in 2021, including an unpermitted water heater installation and defective venting that affected a neighboring property, though these issues were abated by December 2021. The building has generated multiple 311 calls between 2023-2024 primarily relating to illegal postings, sidewalk clearing, and a noise complaint about outdoor music. While most building permits indicate properly completed work, and many issues have been resolved, the pattern of fire safety violations and recent complaints about unpermitted work suggest ongoing compliance monitoring is necessary.

Risk rating

How 207-211 23Rd 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.
