Initial analysis

The property at 274 19th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood is a two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1911, containing three units and classified as flats/duplex. The building has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, including a 200-amp electrical service upgrade with three meters and panels in 2019, and the installation of a new 40-gallon water heater in 2020. Prior major renovations from 1999 involved comprehensive interior work including kitchen repairs, bathroom updates, and window replacement. In 2009, vinyl siding was added to the back and right side of the building, while a street space permit was also issued.

The building has a history of unauthorized dwelling unit issues, with complaints filed in 2004 and 2005 regarding a converted tool shed in the backyard and an illegal basement apartment, though these cases are currently listed as not active. Between late 2019 and early 2020, there was a notable cluster of parking enforcement activity, with multiple citations issued for driveway blocking incidents, suggesting ongoing challenges with parking management in the vicinity. More recent service requests in the area include reports of abandoned vehicles and scooter-related issues, though these are not directly related to the building itself. The property's maintenance record shows regular upgrades to essential systems, indicating ongoing investment in building infrastructure, while the historical permit activity suggests adherence to proper channels for major improvements.

Risk rating

How 274 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.

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.

Building age

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

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 66.6%
Moderate concern 26.2%
Severe concern 7.2%
