Initial analysis

The two-unit, 1912 multi-family residential building at 459 19th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure currently owned by Shelley Gee Tr. The building has undergone several notable modifications over the years, including a significant horizontal addition completed in 1998 at a cost of $172,000, reroofing in 1991, and a now-expired permit from 1999 for the reduction of back stairs and deck. The property has required minimal maintenance, with two street space-related permits issued in 2015 and 2010, each with a nominal cost of $1.

The building has experienced recurring issues with driveway access, particularly evident in 2022-2025, with multiple reports of blocked driveways resulting in some citations being issued, though several complaints were dismissed due to incomplete reporting requirements. There were also two street cleaning-related complaints in the DPW Ops Queue in 2016 and 2018, indicating some issues with loose garbage on the street or sidewalk. In 2022, there was one interaction with the Rent Board regarding an exemption form, though the specific nature of the inquiry is not detailed in the records. While the building's major systems appear to be maintained, the frequency of parking-related issues suggests ongoing challenges with access to the property, though these are external factors primarily affecting resident convenience rather than building integrity or safety.

Risk rating

How 459 19Th 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.

Neighborhood percentile
49th percentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 1148 are predicted to be safer.

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 age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 75.2%
Moderate concern 19.9%
Severe concern 4.9%
