Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 590 25th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by Robert C Jr & Hellena Seid, was constructed in 1988 following the demolition of a previous structure in 1986. The three-story flats/duplex property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most recent major renovations occurring in 2014, including the installation of new vinyl siding and the replacement of 19 windows and a sliding patio door. Previous window upgrades were completed in 2010, along with garage door opener installations in 2004. The building's original construction included sprinkler plans for story exclusion.

The property experienced a series of building violations in late 2002 related to safety compliance, including issues with fire extinguishers, gas shutoff tools, and self-closing devices on exterior doors; however, all these violations were promptly addressed and abated by January 2003. While there have been routine housing inspections conducted in 2002 and 2011, no persistent issues have been noted. A single incident of carbon monoxide detector activation was recorded with no actual CO detected. Recent history shows recurring parking enforcement issues in 2023-2024 regarding driveway blocking, with at least one citation issued. Other external maintenance matters have been addressed, including sidewalk repair in 2019 and tree maintenance in 2015. The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep, with all documented violations and complaints being resolved in a timely manner.

Risk rating

How 590 25Th 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

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 248 are predicted to be safer.
