Initial analysis

This two-unit multi-family residential building, located at 580 28th Avenue in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1924 and currently owned by Todd Kimoto. The property has experienced recurring parking-related issues over the past several years, with the most recent incidents in 2024 showing a pattern of driveway blocking violations. Between March and September 2024, there were five documented cases of vehicles blocking the property's driveway, resulting in citations being issued in each instance. The building also faced several abandoned vehicle situations in early 2020, with three separate reports between January and March involving a motorcycle (Vespa scooter), a silver Hyundai Sonata (4-door), and a green/blue Volvo C70 (2-door), though in each case, the vehicles were gone when authorities arrived. An earlier driveway blockage incident was recorded in July 2021. The property's parking-related challenges appear to have intensified in recent years, particularly in 2024, with multiple enforcement actions required to address the violations.

Risk rating

How 580 28Th 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
