Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 220-222 3rd Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Richmond district, owned by the Kojimoto Family Trust, dates back to 1905 and contains two units. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the years, including a comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodel in 2003 that involved electrical system upgrades, the installation of new circuits, light fixtures, switches, and outlets, as well as repairs to damaged lath and plaster ceilings and walls, with a total combined cost of approximately $31,000. Prior to this, in 2000, the property received a new roof at a cost of $13,000.

The most recent history of the property shows a pattern of parking-related incidents, with ten documented cases of vehicles blocking driveways or parking inappropriately between 2019 and 2023, though these incidents do not directly reflect on the building's condition or management. Of these incidents, seven resulted in citations being issued, two cases were unable to locate the offending vehicle, and one resulted in an officer simply advising the vehicle owner of the violation. All cases were addressed promptly by parking enforcement, suggesting a responsive approach to managing parking violations in the vicinity.

Risk rating

How 220-222 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

Out of 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 517 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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

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

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 81.7%
Moderate concern 13.8%
Severe concern 4.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
