Initial analysis

The 6-unit multi-family residential building at 447 25th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by Jackson & Mew Y W Hom Rev F, has experienced several significant issues in recent years, most notably structural concerns in early 2023. Multiple complaints were filed in January 2023 regarding ceiling shaking in unit 5, with reports of fire/smoke alarms falling and picture frames being dislodged, suggesting potential serious structural issues. The building was constructed in 1964 and has undergone some important safety upgrades, including a fire alarm system retrofit in 2022 that involved upgrading the fire panel and installing low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas to meet current fire code requirements.

Historical records show several violations in February 2006 related to fire safety, security, and maintenance issues, including mold/mildew on ceilings, non-compliant exterior doors, missing directional signs, and problems with smoke enclosure doors. These violations were all addressed and abated by March 2006. The building has also experienced recurring issues with parking enforcement, particularly regarding blocked driveways, with multiple citations issued between 2022 and 2024. More recently, between 2023 and 2024, there have been several complaints about parking violations and other minor issues such as sidewalk blocking. While most building complaints have been resolved, the 2023 structural concerns mark the most significant building-related issue in recent years. The property has undergone periodic inspections, including routine annual inspections in 1996, 2003, and other years as needed, indicating regular oversight of building conditions.

Risk rating

How 447 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.
