Initial analysis

The property at 230 19th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1923, currently owned by the Williams Neumann Living Trust. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past decades, including a substantial renovation in 2012-2013 that converted existing storage space into additional living areas (family room, playroom, bedroom, and laundry room) for unit #2, along with furnace installation and associated plumbing and electrical work. The building's infrastructure has received attention with new foundation bolts installed in 1990, a complete roof replacement in 2008, and various plumbing upgrades including a new water heater installation in 2019 and minor plumbing repairs in 2020.

The building's maintenance record shows both routine and emergency attention to safety systems, though there have been some concerning patterns. In 2017, multiple fire safety violations were documented, including the need for fire extinguisher servicing and carbon monoxide alarm installations, though these violations were marked as "Not active" with a NOV (Notice of Violation) issued in March 2017. A mold complaint was filed in February 2017, and there have been some routine housing inspections over the years (most recently in 2009) that suggest ongoing oversight of building conditions. More recently, there has been an ongoing issue with vehicles blocking the property driveway, with multiple citations issued between April and September 2023, though these are parking enforcement matters rather than building maintenance concerns. The property has experienced minimal fire-related incidents, with only one recorded smoke scare situation (with no civilian injuries) in the available records.

Risk rating

How 230 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.
