Initial analysis

The 12-unit, 3-story apartment building at 337 22nd Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood was built in 1925 and is currently owned by John P Guiral 2018 Revoc Lv. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and infrastructure updates over the years, including a $20,000 reroofing project in 2004 and the replacement of its heating systems in 2012, when a new steam boiler and domestic hot water system were installed. The building experienced multiple fire safety issues in 2003-2004, when several violations were documented regarding the central alarm system, fire proofing, smoke enclosure doors, fire escape maintenance, and the need for proper building permits - all of which were ultimately abated by February 2004. More recent fire safety concerns emerged in 2019 and 2017, specifically involving alarm systems, fire extinguishers, and blocked exits, though these issues were also promptly corrected.

The building's maintenance history shows some ongoing infrastructure challenges, with a water leak complaint filed in October 2019. Recent years have seen numerous 311 calls related to street maintenance and cleaning, particularly concerning garbage and debris management (with the most recent case from June 2024), though these are external issues not directly related to building maintenance. There have been two fire incident reports on record, one related to water problems and the other concerning elevator service. The building's permit history includes various routine maintenance and infrastructure improvements, reflecting standard upkeep for a property of its age and size.

Risk rating

How 337 22Nd 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

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 2205 are predicted to be safer.
