Initial analysis

The property at 222-224 16th Avenue is a two-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1915, located in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood. The building has undergone significant recent improvements, with major renovation work completed in 2021 including bathroom remodeling, kitchen updates, window replacements, and electrical system upgrades. The owners invested approximately $160,000 in comprehensive updates including new subpanels, interior painting, and flooring improvements. More recent works include the conversion of a basement kitchen to a wet bar in late 2022, and the installation of two tankless water heaters in May 2023, though this installation initially resulted in a plumbing violation that was later resolved in August 2024. The building's systems have been regularly maintained, with records showing furnace replacements and multiple window upgrades, including the installation of energy-efficient windows with U-factors below 0.30.

The property has had minimal issues affecting resident experience, with the most significant historical problems being related to tree maintenance in 2021 and a sewage backup incident in 2015. The tree-related concerns were addressed through proper city channels, and the sewage issue was resolved promptly. The building's maintenance record shows attention to both interior and exterior upkeep, including stucco replacement and painting work completed in 2005, though some permits from that time have since expired. Recent plumbing and electrical upgrades demonstrate ongoing investment in maintaining modern building systems, though the initial violation regarding the tankless water heaters installation suggests occasional lapses in permitting procedures.

Risk rating

How 222-224 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

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 22 are predicted to be safer.

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

Building age

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