Initial analysis

The two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 340 21st Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by Wing Douglas, was constructed in 1969 and has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years. Most recently, in December 2016, the building received a $11,500 reroofing project, representing the latest major building improvement. Historical records show the installation of aluminum windows in 1988 (with one permit expiring) and the legalization of partition walls at the rear in 1992.

The building experienced several notable challenges in the early 2000s, particularly in 2001-2002, when multiple fire safety violations were recorded, including issues with smoke enclosure doors, egress obstructions, and combustible storage concerns, though all these violations were abated by March 2001. There were also interior maintenance issues during this period, including mold/mildew problems on walls and ceilings, and damaged walls, though these were resolved by October 2001. Since then, the building has undergone routine housing inspections in 2009 and 2014, with no significant violations recorded.

Risk rating

How 340 21St 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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 76.0%
Moderate concern 14.2%
Severe concern 9.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
