Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 262 19th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by the Lovi Family Trust, has a documented history dating back to 1922 and has undergone several significant maintenance and compliance issues over the years. The most recent major work was completed in June 2024, involving reroofing at a cost of $8,000, following a pattern of roofing maintenance evident in previous work done in 1989 and 2003. The property has experienced notable safety concerns, particularly in 2021, with multiple housing complaints filed regarding hazardous electrical issues, water leaks, and ventilation problems, though these cases are currently marked as not active. Additional concerning incidents occurred in July 2019 related to improper lead paint containment during work, which affected nearby recreation facilities. Historical improvements include the legalization of various ground floor facilities (toilet, laundry, greenhouse) in 1992 and basement wall reinforcement in 1990.

The property has generated consistent 311 calls, primarily related to street cleaning and garbage management, with multiple reports of overflowing city garbage cans throughout 2023-2024, particularly in the adjacent park area. Other minor issues have included blocked sidewalks and parking concerns, all of which have been resolved through appropriate channels. While the building has maintained its basic infrastructure through regular roofing maintenance, the cluster of 2021 safety complaints and 2019 lead-related issues suggest periods of maintenance challenges that required external intervention. The most recent improvements, including the 2024 reroofing project, indicate ongoing investment in the building's maintenance, though the frequency of garbage-related complaints in the surrounding area suggests potential ongoing challenges with waste management in the vicinity.

Risk rating

How 262 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.
