Initial analysis

The Wong Family Trust owns this two-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood. Built in 1914, the property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most recent being termite and pest damage repairs to the exterior siding (north and south facing) at the garden level, with permits issued in August 2024. The building previously received substantial updates including a comprehensive electrical system upgrade in 2015 that installed new 200-amp service with three meters and dedicated circuits, bathroom and laundry room remodeling in 2021-2022, and the installation of a new furnace in 2020. Historical improvements include a completed reroofing project in 2013, window replacements in 2009 (installing 19 new windows), and conversion of the basement in-law unit for elderly accessibility in 2001.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to both structural and safety upgrades, though there have been some notable issues. A sewer and house trap replacement was completed in 2022, and there was one tenant complaint in 2009 regarding deteriorating kitchen cabinets, mold concerns, and utility issues that was promptly addressed within one month. The property has had multiple parking-related incidents reported through 311 calls, most recently in 2024, as well as a sewage backup incident in November 2020 that was resolved. The building has generally received appropriate maintenance and upgrades over the years, with particular attention to addressing pest damage and modernizing systems. While there have been occasional issues requiring city services, these appear to have been adequately addressed through proper channels.

Risk rating

How 240-242 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.

What's driving this score

DBI complaints, owner's portfolio

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

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 86.8%
Moderate concern 10.8%
Severe concern 2.3%
