Initial analysis

This 4-unit multi-family residential building located at 302-308 24th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood is a two-story apartment building constructed in 1923, currently owned by Zhang Jian. The property has undergone several substantial improvements over the past decade, with the most recent work in 2021 involving kitchen renovations and updates to electrical and plumbing systems. Notable improvements include a 200-amp service upgrade with four meters installed in 2018, and both bathroom and kitchen remodels completed between 2014-2021. The building has maintained its structural integrity, with records showing two reroofing projects (2014 and 1989) and code compliance work in 1985.

The building experienced a significant cluster of violations in late 2003, primarily related to fire safety concerns including issues with smoke doors, stairs, combustible storage, and egress obstructions, all of which were successfully abated by January 2004. A routine housing inspection in 1997 and a minor complaint about stove hood installation in 1996 were also resolved promptly. More recently, from August 2024 to January 2025, there have been multiple reports of garbage and debris on the property, including several instances of abandoned mattresses and bagged garbage requiring intervention from Recology. There has also been a notable number of parking enforcement calls for vehicles blocking driveways between September 2024 and January 2025, indicating ongoing parking management challenges in the vicinity.

Risk rating

How 302-308 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.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 1665 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 69.9%
Moderate concern 17.7%
Severe concern 12.4%
