Initial analysis

The three-story, three-unit multi-family residential building at 442 25th Avenue in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood, constructed in 1989, has a relatively clean maintenance record with only a few notable incidents. The building underwent significant transformation in 1987, when a single-family dwelling was demolished to make way for the current structure. In 1997, two building permits were issued and completed: one for roof work in the first-floor lightwell, and another for door replacement and leak repairs. The property's most significant compliance issues arose in 2003, when multiple fire safety violations were documented related to the central alarm system and smoke enclosure door closer requirements. These violations, while serious at the time, were all resolved by May 2003.

The building's recent history shows no major fire safety concerns since the 2003 violations were abated. The most recent documented building issues were primarily external to the structure itself, including three 311 calls in 2021 related to street cleaning and parking enforcement. There was a sewage backup incident recorded in 2008, which was resolved, and multiple instances of graffiti and streetlight issues in the surrounding area were addressed between 2016 and 2021. The property has maintained its residential use status under Low Family Trust ownership, and no active violations or complaints have been recorded in recent years.

Risk rating

How 442 25Th 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, 788 are predicted to be safer.
