Initial analysis

The two-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 522 25th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by Residual Trust, trust B, was constructed in 1964 and has undergone several significant maintenance and safety updates over the years. Most recently, in June 2023, the building received a substantial electrical system upgrade with the replacement of old service equipment. The property has a documented history of addressing safety concerns, notably in April 2002 when multiple smoke detector violations were issued for the lobby and stair areas, though these violations were promptly abated within two weeks. Earlier maintenance work included a sewer replacement completed in 2014 and a roofing project undertaken in 2010 costing $7,000.

The building's incident history shows typical urban residential challenges, including two documented cases of driveway blocking in 2023 and 2024, with one involving a specific vehicle that was resolved by parking enforcement. A city garbage can overflow issue was reported and resolved in 2021, and there was one instance of improper posting in 2013 that was addressed by city services. It's worth noting that the property experienced one lock-out incident that required fire department response, though no civilian injuries were reported in connection with this event. The building's maintenance record indicates regular upkeep and prompt response to safety concerns, with no current active violations on file.

Risk rating

How 522 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

Model explanation

What's driving this score

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

Owner's portfolio size

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 74.5%
Moderate concern 15.7%
Severe concern 9.8%
