Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 590 24th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure owned by Shi Zhi Jian and Loh Shirley, dating back to 1920. The building's maintenance history shows attention to structural integrity and safety, with records indicating a $4,000 repair to the exterior stairway and dry rot damage in 2002, and a complete reroofing project in 1989. A building complaint was filed in April 2018 regarding an alleged illegal change of use of the property, though this complaint is currently listed as not active.

Recent activity around the property has been primarily related to parking enforcement issues. Between 2022 and 2024, there have been multiple reports of vehicles improperly parking on sidewalks, blocking driveways, and other parking violations in the vicinity, with several cases requiring officer response and citations. The most recent complaints include an open noise complaint from August 2024 regarding a major event venue, though the specific connection to the property is unclear. There have been occasional incidents requiring street and sidewalk cleaning, as evidenced by a June 2022 report of loose garbage that was subsequently resolved through pickup. The building's documented history suggests regular maintenance of critical infrastructure, with no recorded safety violations or serious maintenance issues in recent years, though the frequency of parking-related complaints in the immediate area may impact resident convenience and access.

Risk rating

How 590 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.
