Initial analysis

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 423 23rd Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood has a history dating back to its construction in 1971. The most significant safety-related incident occurred in June 2003 when multiple violations were recorded regarding the absence of required smoke detectors in the lobby and stairwell areas. These violations were promptly addressed and abated by July 2003, following the issuance of Notices of Violation (NOVs) on July 2, 2003.

More recently, the building has experienced recurring issues with driveway blockages, particularly during 2024, with multiple citations issued to various vehicles between December 2023 and October 2024. Of these incidents, at least two resulted in citations being issued, including a black Honda Civic on March 5, 2024, and a silver Toyota Prius on February 28, 2024. The property has also had some maintenance issues, including a weed and grass complaint in March 2014, which was resolved by March 2015. While there have been several parking-related incidents and one instance of graffiti reported and resolved in the past year, these are not directly related to the building’s structural or safety conditions.

Risk rating

How 423 23Rd 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, 495 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

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 77.7%
Moderate concern 12.8%
Severe concern 9.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
