Initial analysis

The 384 24th Avenue property, located in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood, is a two-story, multi-family residential building with 6 units and an attached commercial space, constructed in 1912 and currently owned by Wahong Bill Wong Bypass Tr. The building has experienced ongoing issues with its commercial awning, which has been documented in multiple complaints and violations since 2021, most recently regarding non-compliance with historic building guidelines and the 2021 building violation still active as of 2024. The property has undergone various improvements and repairs over the years, including significant work in 2023 with a $25,000 project to replace structural footings and the front door, and previous accessibility upgrades in 2020 for units 2252 and 2254. Recent maintenance issues were noted in late 2024, including a sewage backup, though this was resolved. The building has a history of plumbing and electrical work, including a 2021 sewer pipe replacement and several electrical system upgrades in 2014.

The property has experienced periodic maintenance challenges, particularly with the commercial portion of the building, which has prompted multiple tenant complaints and code enforcement actions. Infrastructure improvements have been made to address various building codes and accessibility requirements, including work to comply with the accessible business entrance program in 2020. The building's utilities and systems have required regular attention, as evidenced by the sequence of permits for plumbing and electrical work, with the most recent significant repairs occurring in 2023. Historical records show attention to basic maintenance issues, including responses to water leaks and bathroom repairs, though some violations, particularly regarding the awning, have persisted over several years.

Risk rating

How 384 24Th 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.
