Initial analysis

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 371 2nd Avenue in the Inner Richmond, owned by Clifford & Anna Yuen Living Trust, has undergone several significant maintenance and safety events since its construction in 1978. Most recently, in August 2024, repair work was completed to replace a damaged rear balcony in unit 3, costing $30,000. The building experienced substantial safety compliance issues in 2004, when multiple violations were recorded regarding emergency exits, egress obstructions, and fire safety concerns including combustible lint from dryer surrounds, though all these violations were officially abated by May 25, 2004. A routine inspection in 2004 also identified the need for additional smoke detectors at the top of enclosed stairs, a requirement that was subsequently addressed.

The building's maintenance history includes a reroofing project completed in 1997. More recently, there have been numerous parking-related issues in the vicinity, with eight parking enforcement calls made between September 2023 and July 2024, though most of these cases resulted in officers being unable to locate the reported vehicles. A property damage report was filed in December 2023, but was administratively closed due to technical issues. The only recorded fire incident was a false alarm activation with no injuries or damage reported. The building has undergone regular housing inspections over the years, with citations and violations being addressed in a timely manner when identified.

Risk rating

How 371 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
87th percentile

Out of 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 224 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building size

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

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 74.0%
Moderate concern 12.8%
Severe concern 13.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
