Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 386-388 15th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1917, currently owned by Lonnie Ann Wong Survivor Trust. The property has undergone several significant renovations and improvements over the past 15 years, with the most substantial work occurring between late 2016 and early 2017, including a kitchen remodel ($8,000), bathroom updates ($5,000), window replacements ($5,000), and associated electrical and plumbing work totaling approximately $18,000. Prior to these improvements, there was a notable compliance issue in 2007-2008 when the building faced violations for operating as an unauthorized three-unit structure, with concerns about illegal conversions in the garage area that were ultimately resolved through proper permitting processes costing $25,000. Earlier maintenance work included complete reroofing in 2013 ($14,000) and the installation of new windows in 1986 and 1990.

The building's recent history shows regular maintenance and improvement patterns, with no active building violations or complaints on record since 2008. While there have been several 311 calls regarding the property's immediate surroundings between 2016 and 2021, these were primarily related to street cleaning and public space maintenance issues rather than building-specific concerns. The property has not recorded any tenant buyouts, and all permitted work has been properly completed, with the most recent major renovations focusing on modernizing the kitchen and bathroom facilities while maintaining compliance with building codes.

Risk rating

How 386-388 15Th 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.
