Initial analysis

The two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 301-307 16th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood was built in 1919 and has undergone several notable renovations over the past two decades. Most recently, in 2020, bathroom improvements were completed at a cost of $11,000, including fixture replacement and electrical upgrades. The building has seen consistent maintenance and upgrades, with significant work performed in 2017 including bathroom and bedroom alterations with new drywall installation and electrical upgrades, and earlier improvements in 2010 focused on kitchen remodeling in Unit 305. Multiple permits for bathroom remodeling, electrical upgrades, and plumbing work demonstrate regular upkeep, though there was a notable incident in 2007 involving unauthorized work that exceeded the scope of the permit, which was later addressed and resolved.

The property experienced several fire safety-related violations in 2004 regarding fireproofing materials and sprinkler requirements, though all these violations were officially abated by February 2010. While there have been two electrical incidents recorded by the fire department (a false alarm and an electrical wiring problem), neither resulted in civilian injuries. Recent records from 2024 show multiple reports of parking-related issues near the property, though officers were generally unable to locate the reported vehicles. There have also been some issues with garbage and debris in the vicinity, with multiple reports in late 2024, including incidents of overflowing city garbage cans and electronic waste. The building’s maintenance history shows regular attention to both common areas and individual units, with the most recent significant work focusing on bathroom facilities building-wide.

Risk rating

How 301-307 16Th 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

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 age

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

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 68.2%
Moderate concern 19.2%
Severe concern 12.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
