Initial analysis

The property at 251 11th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Richmond district is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1989 and owned by Edward G. and Diana L. Wong. The building's construction history shows appropriate safety measures were implemented in compliance with regulations, including the installation of sprinklers in July 1987, following the demolition of a previous residential structure in December 1986. Two building permits were issued and completed in December 1986, though their specific purposes are not detailed in the available records.

The building's complaint history is minimal and shows only one routine housing inspection in September 2009, which was promptly addressed within a week and is no longer active. More recently, there have been several street-related service calls in 2023, including two instances of abandoned Christmas trees and general street cleaning, all of which were successfully resolved by Recology. While there were two reports of abandoned vehicles near the property in 2018, records indicate these vehicles were gone upon inspection in both cases and were not directly related to the building's condition or management. Overall, the building's documented history shows proper construction practices and minimal maintenance issues, with recent service calls primarily relating to street cleaning matters rather than building-specific concerns.

Risk rating

How 251 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

Out of 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 448 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

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 77.2%
Moderate concern 14.5%
Severe concern 8.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
