Initial analysis

The two-story multi-family residential building at 222-224 12th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood, owned by the Selina Yu Trust, was originally constructed in 1908 and underwent significant modifications between 2004-2006. In 2004, the former two-unit building was legally converted into a three-unit structure through comprehensive vertical and horizontal additions costing $240,000. During this period, major safety improvements were implemented, including the installation of a new fire sprinkler system (completed at $18,000) and extensive electrical upgrades comprising 95 lights, 60 switches, 90 receptacles, and a new panel addition across all three units in March 2006.

The building's address underwent verification and correction work in August 2007, ensuring proper identification of front and rear portions for addresses 222 and 224, plus 222A. The property has had minimal internal issues reported through 311 calls, with the majority of complaints relating to street cleaning matters - three reports of loose garbage in 2013, 2014, 2020, and one parking enforcement issue in 2019 involving a vehicle on the sidewalk, though these external matters were promptly resolved and do not directly reflect on building conditions. Since 2021, there have been no recorded complaints or incidents, suggesting stable current conditions, though this should be considered in conjunction with the age of the building (115 years old) and the significant renovations completed in the mid-2000s.

Risk rating

How 222-224 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, 1172 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.

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.

Building age

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 67.4%
Moderate concern 26.9%
Severe concern 5.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
