Initial analysis

The property at 295-299 14th Avenue in the Central Richmond district is a two-story multi-family residential building containing three units, constructed in 1915 and currently owned by Nestedlnp LLC. The building has undergone significant renovations in recent years, with substantial work completed in 2019 including a complete reroofing ($8,000), replacement of the stucco facade ($40,000), and major interior updates including a kitchen remodel, laundry room improvements, and the installation of new furnaces, electrical systems, and plumbing fixtures totaling approximately $139,000. However, there is an active building complaint (filed November 2024) alleging that the property was illegally converted and remodeled without proper permits, with claims of unauthorized plumbing and electrical work, as well as unauthorized change of use, which remain under investigation by the Building Inspection Division.

The building has experienced three documented fire-related incidents since 2020, though none resulted in civilian injuries and were primarily related to false alarms or detector malfunction. Recent building maintenance includes a $6,600 reroofing project completed in October 2024,though it's worth noting that this work followed the recent complaint. The property has generated several 311 calls in late 2024 regarding external issues such as street defects, illegal parking, and debris, as well as multiple street space permits issued between 2018-2019, suggesting ongoing management of external areas. The extensive 2019-2020 renovations included comprehensive electrical rewiring, new HVAC systems, and various plumbing upgrades, though some of these permits were marked as expired. A street space permit was also issued in 2002 for $1,500. The building's recent history shows significant investment in improvements, though the current complaint regarding unauthorized modifications introduces an element of concern regarding proper regulatory compliance.

Risk rating

How 295-299 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.
