Initial analysis

The 6-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 284 12th Avenue in the Inner Richmond, owned by Parnaz Revoc Trust of 1996, has undergone several significant safety upgrades in recent years. Most notably, in April 2024, the building completed a major fire alarm system upgrade costing over $28,000 to meet 2022 codes, including a new panel, device replacements, and the addition of low-frequency horns and wireless radio components. This upgrade was followed by a related electrical permit completion in June 2024. The building has a documented history of routine housing inspections in 1996, 2002, and 2009, all of which were successfully abated.

The property's maintenance record shows attention to fundamental infrastructure needs, including a complete reroofing project in 2008 costing $5,000. While there have been two fire-related incidents recorded—one false alarm and one smoke detector malfunction—neither resulted in civilian injuries. Recent external maintenance issues have primarily involved street cleaning matters, with several 311 calls between 2017 and 2024 regarding garbage, debris, and abandoned items on or near the property. Street lighting maintenance has also been addressed, with multiple reports to PG&E regarding dim and burnt-out lights being resolved in 2018-2019. The building's permit and inspection history suggests regular upkeep of essential systems, with particular attention paid to fire safety through recent system upgrades.

Risk rating

How 284 12Th 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, 965 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.

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 72.5%
Moderate concern 17.2%
Severe concern 10.3%
