Initial analysis

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 250 11th Avenue in the Inner Richmond, owned by Chi Huei Chen, has undergone several documented improvements since its construction in 1907. The most recent renovations include a kitchen remodel on the second floor in 2006, which involved updating lighting, plumbing, fixtures, and flooring, along with corresponding electrical upgrades including new lights, switches, and receptacles. Earlier improvements include significant infrastructure work in 2004 with the installation of a 150A overhead electrical service, sidewalk repairs, and replacement of a 300 square foot garage concrete slab. Historical records from 1992 show more extensive repairs including bathroom work, foundation raising, and framing replacement.

The property has experienced recurring issues with illegal parking, particularly regarding blocked driveways, with seven reported incidents between 2018 and 2023. While most of these cases were resolved through officer response, several resulted in citations, and in some instances, officers were unable to locate the offending vehicles. There was also one reported case in 2018 regarding toters being left out continuously. All parking-related complaints were addressed through normal enforcement channels, though two cases were marked as Invalid due to incomplete reporting information. The building's maintenance record suggests regular upkeep and infrastructure improvements, particularly focusing on essential systems such as electrical service and structural components, while the area around the property has experienced ongoing challenges with illegal parking.

Risk rating

How 250 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
52th percentile

Out of 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 827 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.

Building age

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

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

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 80.3%
Moderate concern 15.7%
Severe concern 4.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
