Initial analysis

This two-unit residential building, located at 211-213 18th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood, was constructed in 1923 and is currently owned by Howard & Susie N Woo 2007 R Trust. The property has undergone significant maintenance and improvement work in 2024, including a substantial $27,000 reroofing project completed in July, and an exterior renovation costing $44,000 that involved repairing exterior stairs, replacing less than 50% of the wood, updating siding to Hardie Plank, and installing three new fiberglass-clad wood windows on the west-facing wall. Earlier maintenance issues included a collapsed sidewalk identified in 2016 (since repaired) and a sewage backup incident in 2011. More recently, there has been a pattern of parking-related issues, with four documented incidents between 2022 and 2024 involving vehicles blocking driveways or parking on sidewalks, though most were resolved through citations or officer response. There is also one outstanding issue from November 2021 regarding tree root damage to the sidewalk, which is still listed as open and accepted by the Department of Public Works.

Risk rating

How 211-213 18Th 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

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 1170 are predicted to be safer.
