Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 273-275 2nd Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Richmond district is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1906, currently owned by the Louie Family Trust. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and infrastructure upgrades over the past three decades, with the most recent major work being a comprehensive reroofing project completed in 2021 at a cost of $20,000, which included the installation of new felt and 30-year composition shingles. Other notable improvements include a sewer lateral replacement completed in 2022, a service upgrade with the installation of three meters in 2003, and the installation of four vinyl windows in 1992. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to infrastructure needs, though some earlier permits from 1995 (for roofing work) have expired without record of completion.

The property has experienced minimal incident-related issues over the past few years. A few minor community-related occurrences were recorded through the city's 311 system, including a closed graffiti case in 2020, a parking enforcement call in 2019, and two separate reports of noise and homeless concerns in 2017. Of these incidents, only the graffiti case was directly related to the building's location, while the other reports involved broader neighborhood issues. The documented permits and maintenance records suggest the building's major systems are receiving proper attention, with particularly recent focus on roofing and plumbing infrastructure.

Risk rating

How 273-275 2Nd 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, 207 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 size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Building age

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

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 82.1%
Moderate concern 13.4%
Severe concern 4.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
