Initial analysis

The 3-unit residential building at 201-205 14th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by Alma Guerrero Bachrach Livi and constructed in 1915, has undergone significant renovations and faced several challenges in recent years. Most notably, in 2023-2024, the property experienced substantial remodeling work including a $1.06 million comprehensive renovation of all three units (201, 203, and 205) involving new bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens, and a complete rebuild of common egress stairs to meet building code requirements. However, the building faced serious issues in early 2023 when it suffered fire damage reportedly caused by a neighboring property, leading to multiple subsequent renovation permits to address both the fire damage and general improvements including kitchen and bathroom upgrades totaling over $1.26 million.

The building's history reveals some concerning patterns, particularly regarding permit compliance and maintenance issues. Several complaints and violations were recorded between 2016-2019, including unauthorized construction work, concerns about lead dust migration, and plumbing/electrical violations. While most of these issues were resolved, they indicate past challenges with construction oversight. In 2013, there were two complaints about lack of heating in the building that were eventually abated. The property has also undergone various systematic upgrades over the years, including a reroofing project completed in September 2024 costing $13,000, installation of wall heaters in all units in 2013, and multiple kitchen and bathroom renovations between 2013 and 2024. Building inspections have generally been conducted regularly, with the most recent reported fire damage in early 2023 being the most significant recent incident affecting the property.

Risk rating

How 201-205 14Th 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, 1508 are predicted to be safer.
