Initial analysis

The property at 555 33rd Avenue in San Francisco's Outer Richmond district is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1914, currently owned by Joseph B. Oneal and Jamie J. Oneal. The building has undergone significant improvements and maintenance work in recent years, with the most recent projects including a complete reroofing in September 2023 with a 20-year warranty, interior entry foyer renovation in May 2023, and the installation of a solar PV system (7.47 kW) in July 2023. Major infrastructure upgrades have included electrical system enhancements in late 2023/2024, with new 200-amp service and subpanels for both units, as well as HVAC improvements with the installation of Mitsubishi heat pump systems in early 2024.

The building's maintenance history shows consistent upkeep, with substantial renovations completed in 2017 including kitchen and bath remodels, new railings, and various structural repairs costing $75,000. Multiple plumbing and electrical improvements have been carried out, including rewiring, fireplace renovations, and kitchen/bathroom updates. While there have been several building complaints and permit violations over the years (primarily between 1994-2018), these issues appear to have been resolved, with no active complaints on record. Historical complaints included unauthorized construction work and concerns about potential illegal units, but these were addressed through subsequent inspections and permit applications. The property has maintained regular maintenance schedules, with particular attention to roofing, fencing, and interior updates, suggesting active management by the current owners. Recent improvements have focused on energy efficiency and modern comfort systems, including heat pumps, solar power, and electrical upgrades.

Risk rating

How 555 33Rd 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
98th percentile

Out of 1040 buildings in this neighborhood, 21 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.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 81.6%
Moderate concern 16.1%
Severe concern 2.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
