Initial analysis

The Fawcett Family Trust owns this 5-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building located at 293-299 22nd Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood, constructed in 1921. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years, with the most recent being a substantial reroofing project completed in December 2024 costing $25,200. Other notable improvements include kitchen and bathroom renovations filed in 2018 (cost: $36,837), and attempted stair and railing upgrades in 2003 (cost: $10,000). The building experienced multiple fire safety violations in 2001, including issues with combustible storage, fire proofing, and egress obstructions, though all these violations were abated by November 2001. In 2022, there was a complaint about an unauthorized change of use from office to retail, which remains open in planning records.

The property has had three fire-related incidents recorded, all non-damaging, including smoke scares and alarm activations with no actual fire. More recently, there has been a pattern of parking enforcement issues, with multiple citations issued between August and October 2024 for blocking driveways, indicating an ongoing parking challenge in the area. The building has maintained compliance with housing codes since the 2001 violations were resolved, and no further major building complaints have been recorded in recent years.

Risk rating

How 293-299 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.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 2048 are predicted to be safer.
