Initial analysis

The 431 22nd Avenue property is a 2-story, 7-unit multi-family residential building located in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by Dea Wayman and constructed in 1924. The building has undergone significant safety improvements in recent years, with the most recent being a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade completed in May 2024 at a cost of $35,878, which included the installation of addressable smoke detectors, manual pull stations, and low-frequency horns throughout residential sleeping areas to comply with current fire code requirements. The building has also completed mandatory seismic retrofitting as a Tier 3 soft-story building, demonstrating compliance with San Francisco's seismic safety requirements.

Historically, the building had several safety-related issues that were promptly addressed, including fire violations and alarm system problems in 2003, which were resolved within two months. A steam boiler permit violation was recorded in 2004 but was abated within two months. The property has seen various maintenance improvements over the years, including a reroofing project in 1990 and front stucco replacement in 1989. While there have been multiple parking-related incidents reported in recent years (2018-2020), these were external to the building itself. The building's current status shows no active violations or complaints, and all recent permits related to safety upgrades have been completed successfully.

Risk rating

How 431 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.

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.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

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.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 41.2%
Moderate concern 44.4%
Severe concern 14.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
