Initial analysis

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 447 23rd Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by Lee Fmly Tr, was constructed in 1972 and has undergone several significant renovations and improvements over the past few years. The most recent work includes a kitchen remodel in Apartment 4 completed in December 2019, following substantial renovations in 2017-2018 that addressed multiple units. These earlier updates involved gut renovations of Units 1 and 3, repair of blind walls, kitchen and bathroom replacements, garage drywall replacement, and siding improvements along the south property wall, with associated electrical, plumbing, and gas furnace installations totaling approximately $126,000 in improvements. A notable incident occurred in April 2017 when a fire incident caused moderate damage to Unit 3, though this has since been repaired and the unit was returned to habitable condition. The building's maintenance history also shows the installation of multiple safety features, including smoke/carbon monoxide detectors and new electrical systems throughout the units.

The property has had some parking enforcement issues recently, with numerous calls for vehicles blocking driveways between March and September 2023, resulting in multiple citations issued to offending vehicles. Earlier building violations were documented in 2002 related to fire safety, including fire extinguisher maintenance and smoke detector requirements, but these were promptly addressed and abated by December 2002. The building's documented improvements indicate a proactive approach to maintenance and upgrades, particularly following the 2017 fire incident, with comprehensive electrical rewiring, plumbing updates, and kitchen/bathroom renovations throughout the building.

Risk rating

How 447 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.
