Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 578-580 30th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by Amy C. M. Lee and Betty C. Y. Le, has undergone several significant maintenance and repair projects since its construction in 1989. The property, which contains two units and is classified as a Flats & Duplex, has required multiple roofing interventions, with reroofing work completed in 1995, 2004, and most recently in 2012, reflecting ongoing roof maintenance needs. Other notable repairs include a 2009 window and door replacement project, which also addressed minor dry rot issues at the roof deck, and in 1995, repairs to the front and back stucco along with dry rot remediation. A cancelled stair revision permit from 1988 is the only permit that did not reach completion.

The building's location has experienced recurring parking-related issues in recent years, with a cluster of incidents occurring between 2023 and 2024. There have been multiple reports (at least 8 cases) of driveway blocking incidents requiring parking enforcement response, with the most recent being in November 2024. Additionally, there were several reports of abandoned vehicles near the property between 2023 and 2024, though most were resolved with the vehicles being present and not abandoned (as noted in closed case reports). The frequency of parking-related incidents suggests ongoing challenges with street parking management in the immediate vicinity of the building, though these are external neighborhood issues rather than direct building concerns.

Risk rating

How 578-580 30Th 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.
