Initial analysis

The 6-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 262 22nd Ave in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by the David T Chinn Living Trust 2018, was constructed in 1964 and has undergone several significant improvements over the years. Most notably, the building completed a seismic retrofit in 2015 as part of the wood frame soft story program, demonstrating compliance with mandatory safety requirements. In 2023, the property received a comprehensive fire safety upgrade, including the installation of an addressable fire alarm system, wireless communicator, smoke detectors, manual pull stations, horn strobes, and low-frequency horns throughout residential sleeping areas to meet current fire code standards. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, with a significant complaint filed in August 2024 regarding inadequate interior maintenance particularly around the garbage area, though these violations were abated in September 2024. Historical records from 2003 and 2024 show concerns about combustible storage and fire safety, as well as sanitation issues around the garbage chute, suggesting periodic challenges with building maintenance. The property has also been the subject of multiple parking-related complaints in the surrounding area, though these are not directly related to building conditions. Recent 311 calls indicate some infrastructure issues, including a sewage backup in 2020, which was resolved. While the building has addressed its seismic and fire safety requirements, the frequency of sanitation-related complaints suggests ongoing challenges with maintenance and upkeep.

Risk rating

How 262 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
65th percentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 788 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 age

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

Property class: mixed-use w/ SFR

Mixed-use property including a single-family residential component.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 82.6%
Moderate concern 12.1%
Severe concern 5.3%
