Initial analysis

The 5-unit, 3-story apartment building at 559-561 24th Avenue in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by Lumpkins Family Living Trust, has undergone significant improvements and modifications between 2018-2019. The most substantial recent work included the conversion of ground floor storage space into a dwelling unit, completed in March 2019, along with the installation of a comprehensive fire sprinkler system with underground service ($20,500) and window replacements ($18,000). The building completed its soft-story retrofit requirements as a Tier 3 property, receiving its CFC certification. Several essential upgrades were carried out during this period, including new sprinkler monitoring systems, electrical work for the new unit, and various plumbing improvements such as a central furnace installation and replacement of the 4" main waste line. Historical records show two building code violations from January 2012 related to fire safety (fire extinguishers) that were promptly resolved within ten days.

Recent activity at the property has primarily consisted of parking-related issues, with multiple complaints about driveway blocking between 2023-2024, resulting in several citations being issued. The building's maintenance record shows regular updates and improvements, including multiple window replacements, fire safety enhancements, and comprehensive plumbing work, suggesting active management and upkeep of the property. The building's history includes routine inspections in 2003 and 2012, with no recurring violations or ongoing compliance issues noted in recent years.

Risk rating

How 559-561 24Th 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

Model explanation

What's driving this score

Owner's portfolio size

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

No violation 75.4%
Moderate concern 15.9%
Severe concern 8.7%
