Initial analysis

The 2-unit residential building at 279-281 22nd Avenue, located in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1922 and currently owned by Trust B. The property underwent significant renovations in 2015, including comprehensive remodeling of one kitchen and one bathroom, electrical system upgrades, installation of new fixtures, windows replacement, and bathroom modifications, with all work properly permitted and completed. These improvements totaled over $68,000 and included the installation of new LED lighting, exhaust fans, and various modern appliances.

The building's maintenance history reveals some concerning past issues, particularly relating to safety, with documented problems including rotted back stairs that left tenants without a rear exit in case of fire (addressed within three weeks in late 1999) and weatherproofing deficiencies (resolved by March 2000). An expired permit from 1999 for horizontal addition is also on record. More recently, from 2022 to 2024, there have been multiple documented instances of driveway blocking incidents, with parking enforcement responding to at least ten separate cases, though these are not directly related to building conditions. A planning record from 2020 regarding possible illegal short-term rentals was investigated but resulted in no violation finding. The property's infrastructure appears to have been properly maintained over the years, with a 2003 electrical service upgrade to 200-amp service completed, demonstrating attention to modern electrical requirements.

Risk rating

How 279-281 22Nd 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.
