Initial analysis

The property at 209-211 11th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Richmond district is a 2-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1924, currently owned by the Tom Shun Mei Trust. The building's history reveals several notable maintenance and compliance issues, particularly regarding unauthorized construction work. In 2013, there were violations related to unpermitted dry-rot repairs at the rear stairs, though a subsequent building permit was issued for those repairs. Similar concerns about unauthorized work were documented in 2007 (structural work) and 2003 (illegal basement unit), with a historical complaint from 1995 regarding an illegal unit and roof maintenance. A building permit from 1996 shows efforts to legalize ground floor rooms, while a cancelled electrical permit from 2004 for kitchen and bathroom remodeling indicates incomplete work from that period.

Recent activity around the property primarily relates to parking enforcement, with multiple reports of vehicles blocking driveways between 2020 and 2023. There have been at least eight documented instances of parking violations, with some resulting in citations, while others were marked "Unable to Locate" or "Invalid." The most recent building-related activity was recorded in August 2024, involving an encampment report that was closed as "Unable to Locate." The property's maintenance record shows some attention to structural issues, particularly regarding dry rot, though the pattern of unauthorized work suggests occasional challenges with permit compliance.

Risk rating

How 209-211 11Th 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
