Initial analysis

The two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 347 21st Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by Seiki Fmly Survivor's Tr, was constructed in 1923 and has undergone several significant events throughout its history. The most notable incident occurred in May 2003 when the building faced multiple fire safety violations, including issues with fire extinguisher maintenance, combustible storage, and smoke enclosure doors - all of which were successfully abated by July 14, 2003. The building received a reroofing upgrade in 2004 at a cost of $7,100, demonstrating maintenance attention to basic infrastructure. Three routine housing inspections have been documented, with the most recent occurring in 2009.

In recent years, there has been a series of street-related issues surrounding the property, primarily involving parking violations, with six recorded cases of vehicles blocking driveways or parking on sidewalks between April and June 2023. The sidewalk and street area around the building has also experienced recurring general cleaning needs, with eight reported cases of loose garbage or waste between 2022 and 2023. These exterior maintenance issues, while indicating some challenges in the immediate surroundings, are primarily street-level concerns rather than direct building-related problems. The last documented building-related issue, apart from routine inspections, dates back to 2004 with the completion of the reroofing project, suggesting that major building systems may not have required significant attention in recent years.

Risk rating

How 347 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
