Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 225 19th Avenue in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood, currently owned by the Lee Family Trust, was constructed in 1986 following the demolition of a single-family dwelling earlier that year. The two-story multi-family structure was equipped with fire safety features at the time of construction, including the installation of nine fire sprinkler heads to cover second-floor egress areas, and has undergone two significant routine housing inspections over its history.

The first routine inspection in July 2000 revealed multiple fire safety concerns, including the need for smoke detectors in the stairs and lobby, recharge of fire extinguishers, installation of self-closing devices at exit doors, and addressing combustible storage issues. Additional violations addressed during this period included the requirement for a plumbing permit and fireproofing repairs. All these violations were officially abated by September 15, 2000. A subsequent inspection in March 2009 identified remaining issues with storage and fire safety features, including the need for a smoke enclosure door closer, though these were resolved by May 2009. While no active violations or complaints are currently on record, it's worth noting that both inspection periods revealed multiple fire safety concerns, though these were addressed through appropriate remediation within the specified timeframes.

Risk rating

How 225 19Th 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.
