Initial analysis

The two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 272-274 16th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by Rodriguez Fmly Tr, was constructed in 1922 and has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years. Most notably, the property has seen recent window upgrades, with vinyl replacements installed in March 2022 and July 2023, totaling eight windows across different building sections, all meeting modern energy efficiency standards. Other substantial improvements include a complete water line replacement in July 2017 and historical maintenance work such as dry rot repair and stucco work at the garage entrance in 1990, vinyl siding installation in 1987, and an expired reroofing project from 1996.

The building's recent history shows regular attention to maintenance and upgrades, with no recorded building code violations or safety concerns. The property has experienced typical urban residential issues, as evidenced by 311 calls, including several parking enforcement matters (two citations for driveway blocking in 2024 and 2023), reports of abandoned vehicles in 2017, and occasional tree maintenance requests. Other non-building related incidents recorded through 311 have included sidewalk blocking (2017), graffiti (2019), and a Christmas tree pickup (2022), all of which were resolved promptly. The documented history suggests proactive maintenance by the owners, with particular attention paid to window upgrades and essential infrastructure improvements, while the frequency of 311 calls appears consistent with neighborhood norms rather than indicating any building-specific concerns.

Risk rating

How 272-274 16Th 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

76th percentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 540 are predicted to be safer.
