Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 426-428 23rd Avenue in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1921, currently owned by Carol A Reen. The property underwent significant maintenance and improvements in late 2017, including a $12,000 reroofing project and a $10,000 exterior renovation that involved replacing rotten wood, repairing stucco, and upgrading front windows to energy-efficient double hung and casement wood designs. These improvements followed earlier maintenance records from 1990-1991 that included minor stucco repairs and roofing work, indicating regular upkeep of the building's exterior elements.

The property has experienced recurring parking-related issues in recent years, with several reports of sidewalk parking violations between 2019 and 2023, though enforcement officers were often unable to locate the offending vehicles. Two street space permits were issued in 2018, though their specific purpose was not detailed. The most recent incidents include a parking enforcement case in March 2023 resulting in a citation and an unlocated vehicle complaint in November 2023. Additionally, a pavement defect issue was resolved by PUC Sewer Operations in July 2020, and a street light flickering problem was addressed by PG&E in October 2010. The building's maintenance history reflects regular upkeep of major systems, with the most recent significant improvements occurring in late 2017.

Risk rating

How 426-428 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.
