Initial analysis

The property at 269 3rd Avenue in the Inner Richmond is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1987, currently owned by Choi Ha Li Revoc Tr. The building has undergone several significant improvements, with the most recent being a $15,000 reroofing project completed in August 2023. The original construction included a change from bay windows to a deck modification, following the demolition of a single-family home on the site in 1986.

The building has a documented history of fire safety concerns, with multiple violations recorded in December 2004 following a routine safety inspection. These violations included issues with smoke detector functionality, smoke enclosure doors, fire extinguisher maintenance, and gas utility shutoff tools, though all were abated by January 2005. Since then, the building has undergone three additional routine safety inspections (1999, 2010, and 2015) with no recorded violations in recent years, suggesting improved compliance with safety requirements. The property has experienced minimal external issues, with only a few minor incidents reported through 311 calls, including a sewage backup in 2013 and some graffiti removal in 2018, all of which were promptly resolved.

Risk rating

How 269 3Rd 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
