Initial analysis

The three-unit, two-story apartment building at 268 19th Avenue in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by the Ng Family Trust, was constructed in 1986 following the demolition of a single-family dwelling at the site in 1985. The building has undergone minimal permitted improvements over the years, with records showing only one significant renovation - a reroofing project carried out in 1994, though this permit has since expired. A notable cluster of building violations was recorded in November 2007, including issues with combustible storage, water heater seismic strapping requirements, and gas meter instruction posting needs - all of which were subsequently abated by January 2008. Two routine housing inspections have been conducted on record, in 2000 and 2007, with no ongoing enforcement actions.

more recently, the property has been the subject of several 311 calls primarily related to parking issues on the surrounding streets, including sidewalk parking and blocked driveways, though enforcement officers were typically unable to locate the offending vehicles. The area has experienced recurring issues with graffiti on nearby poles between 2011 and 2017, along with a 2022 general cleaning complaint regarding loose garbage. A 2024 complaint about parking on the sidewalk was filed, but again, officers could not locate the source of the complaint. Despite these external issues, there are no recent building-specific violations or complaints on record, suggesting improved maintenance and compliance with housing codes in recent years.

Risk rating

How 268 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.

Neighborhood percentile
91th percentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 202 are predicted to be safer.
