Initial analysis

The two-unit, two-story residential building at 222 22nd Avenue in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood is a flats and duplex structure built in 1916 and currently owned by Crystal Yan. The building's documented history shows minimal permit activity, with only one permit issued in 2010 for street space scaffolding at a nominal cost of $1.00. The property has generated several 311 complaints over the past decade, though none appear to be directly related to issues within the building itself. The most recent incident was a noise report filed in October 2023, while previous complaints included reports of abandoned vehicles (2022 and 2019), hazardous materials (March 2022), and various street cleaning matters including loose garbage (2020). Several abandoned vehicle complaints were reported within a short timeframe, with vehicles consistently being gone upon inspection by authorities (the most recent being a Chevrolet SUV in August 2022, and a Honda Civic in October 2014). The frequency of street cleaning and abandoned vehicle reports between 2019-2022 suggests ongoing neighborhood maintenance challenges, though these appear to primarily affect public areas rather than the building itself.

Risk rating

How 222 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.
