Initial analysis

The Chan Family Trust property at 282 23rd Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood is a two-story, multi-family residential building (Flats & Duplex) constructed in 1906, containing two units. The building underwent significant renovations in 2006-2007, including a major stairway relocation, interior remodeling of bathrooms and kitchens, window modifications, and important structural improvements such as lateral shear wall reinforcement and front elevation maintenance. These improvements were accompanied by comprehensive electrical upgrades, including the installation of three electrical meters, recessed lighting, and new panels, as well as plumbing enhancements featuring new bathrooms, showers, and heating systems.

The most recent significant maintenance issue appears to be an open sidewalk defect reported in August 2024 concerning a collapsed sidewalk near the property. The property has experienced recurring issues with vehicles blocking driveways, particularly between 2021 and 2024, with several cases requiring parking enforcement. Garbage and debris incidents have also been documented, with the most recent case involving abandoned furniture in January 2025. While there was one documented building complaint in 2007 regarding debris disposal, this was promptly addressed on the same day it was reported. The extensive renovation work completed in 2006-2009, including multiple final inspections and the resolution of several building permits, suggests that the property has received substantial improvement to both its structural and aesthetic elements, particularly during this period.

Risk rating

How 282 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.

Neighborhood percentile
84th percentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 360 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.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

DBI complaints, owner's portfolio

Complaints across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 85.6%
Moderate concern 11.1%
Severe concern 3.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
