Initial analysis

The property at 405 22nd Avenue is a two-story mixed-use building constructed in 1921, containing three residential units and ground-floor commercial space. The building, owned by Mar Family Partnership LP, has experienced significant ongoing maintenance issues in recent years, most notably concerning safety and security. A current active violation, filed in November 2022, relates to broken glass in the storefront windows creating an unsafe condition, and despite multiple permits issued for repair work in 2023, this issue remains unresolved. The building underwent substantial improvements in 2020, including a $35,000 renovation to replace windows with historical wood double-hung windows and restore exterior siding. The ground-floor commercial space has transitioned from retail to restaurant use (Hodala Restaurant) in 2014, with various related improvements including electrical and plumbing upgrades totaling over $25,000.

The property has a history of compliance issues and safety concerns, as evidenced by multiple building complaints from 2022 through 2024. Notable recurring issues include problems with windows, electrical systems, and exterior maintenance. There have been several reports of exposed wiring and structural concerns, though many of these issues were marked as "not active" after inspection. The building has experienced frequent false fire alarms or false calls, though there have been no actual fire incidents or civilian injuries recorded. Recent activity around the property has generated multiple 311 calls regarding garbage and debris on the street, particularly related to abandoned furniture and overflowing city garbage cans, with the most recent calls occurring in December 2024.

Risk rating

How 405 22Nd 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.
