Initial analysis

The two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 355-357 22nd Avenue in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood was built in 1917 and is currently owned by Chen Chao Ying & Kuang Man. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, most notably a substantial $170,000 rear horizontal addition with side yard fill-in at garage level completed in 2004, followed by major electrical upgrades in 2006-2007 that included a comprehensive rewiring of the entire house with new 200-amp service, installation of 76 lights, 68 switches, and 90 receptacles, and the addition of an automatic garage door opener. Earlier maintenance work included re-roofing in 2000 and dryrot repairs to exterior side stairs in 1996.

The building has experienced some concerning issues, particularly a complaint in July 2010 regarding mold in the bathroom and living room, the presence of an alleged illegal unit, and exposed electrical wires, though these issues were marked as abated within a day. The surrounding area has faced multiple street cleaning challenges between 2019 and 2024, with reports of loose garbage, medical waste (needles), human or animal waste, and an abandoned vehicle complaint that was later determined to have no merit. While the building's major systems have seen substantial upgrades in the past two decades, the presence of recent street cleaning incidents near the property, particularly the 2019 and 2020 cases, suggests ongoing challenges with the immediate neighborhood environment.

Risk rating

How 355-357 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.
