Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 362 20th Avenue in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1917, currently owned by Ari Kanter. The building's maintenance history shows several significant updates, including a roof replacement in 1998 and a central heating system upgrade for both units in 2007. A plumbing issue was documented and resolved in December 2003 regarding a malfunctioning shower diverter, which was corrected by January 2004 through the issuance and subsequent abatement of a Housing Code violation.

The property has generated multiple 311 calls in recent years, primarily related to street cleaning and sidewalk maintenance issues between 2018-2022, including reports of loose garbage, graffiti, and a noise complaint in 2018. There were two encampment-related incidents reported in the vicinity in 2018 and 2021, both of which were resolved through clearing the areas. The most recent incident was a driveway blocking complaint in May 2022, which resulted in a citation being issued. While the exterior and surrounding area have experienced various urban challenges typical for the neighborhood, the building itself has maintained compliance with housing codes following the 2003 plumbing issue, and there have been no reported violations impacting resident safety or building integrity in recent years.

Risk rating

How 362 20Th 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.
