Initial analysis

This two-unit residential building, located at 222-224 15th Avenue in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1916, currently owned by Ralph Pulverman and Catherine L. The property has undergone several significant renovations, with the most substantial work occurring between 2008 and 2011. Major improvements include a comprehensive window replacement project in 2008 involving 35 windows, kitchen and bathroom remodels on both floors, and the installation of two new furnaces in 2008-2009. In 2011, further improvements were made to one unit's kitchen and bathrooms, including new cabinets, fixtures, and energy-efficient lighting. The building has received regular maintenance attention, including stucco repair and painting in 2009, insulation and drywall work in the garage ceiling in 2011, and a complete reroofing in 2006.

The property has experienced minimal issues impacting resident safety or comfort, with only one building complaint on record regarding open flame torching of paint on the exterior in 2009, which was promptly addressed within a month. Recent activity at the property has primarily consisted of parking-related issues on the street, with multiple reports of sidewalk parking between 2019-2024, though these incidents occurred outside the building itself and were handled by parking enforcement. The building's maintenance and improvement record demonstrates proactive upkeep by ownership, with no significant safety concerns or code violations on file in recent years. The most recent building permits and significant renovations date back to 2011, suggesting that while major systems and units have been upgraded, no substantial structural or systems work has been undertaken in the past decade.

Risk rating

How 222-224 15Th 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, 922 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

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

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

Building age

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 80.9%
Moderate concern 14.6%
Severe concern 4.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
