Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 422-424 32nd Avenue in the Central Richmond district is a duplex property built in 1981, currently owned by Linda Wong. The building underwent several significant improvements over the past two decades, with the most recent major work being completed in 2019, including both reroofing ($8,000) and the installation of a roof-mounted solar photovoltaic system consisting of 17 modules (5.27 kW) with a new subpanel. An earlier permitted modification to the property included the installation of a garage door operator in 2004.

The property's development history reveals that it was originally permitted as a two-family dwelling with a variance granted for a reduced front setback of 5 feet, in contrast to the required 15 feet. A building complaint was filed in December 2000 regarding unauthorized construction work, including a backyard fence over 6 feet, concrete work, and a stairway, though this complaint is no longer active in the system. A street lighting issue was documented and resolved in July 2017, though this was unrelated to the building's condition or occupancy. The property appears to have undergone proper review and approval processes for its redevelopment from a single-family home to its current duplex configuration, and has since maintained compliance with major improvements through properly filed permits.

Risk rating

How 422-424 32Nd 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
82th percentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 405 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Property class: multi-family flat

2–4 unit flats (class F) are a common SF building type with their own maintenance and complaint patterns.

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 82.0%
Moderate concern 12.2%
Severe concern 5.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
