Initial analysis

The three-story, two-unit residential building at 415 14th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by Richard J. Oh, has been maintained with several significant improvements since its construction in 1911 as a flats/duplex structure. In July 2018, the property underwent a substantial renovation costing $28,000 that included window replacement (12 windows not facing the street), interior door modifications (6 doors), interior wall painting, and bathroom renovation. This work was supplemented by plumbing and electrical updates in October 2018, which included replacements of kitchen and bathroom sinks, electrical outlets, and appliances (dishwasher and range). A street space permit was also issued in October 2018 for a nominal cost of $1.

The building's recent history shows minimal internal issues, with only two fire department responses recorded - one for a malfunctioning carbon monoxide detector and another for a false alarm, neither resulting in civilian injuries. While there have been numerous 311 calls in the vicinity since late 2024, they primarily concern external issues such as graffiti on public transit shelters, noise complaints, and Muni service feedback, none of which indicate problems with the building itself. The most recent building improvements and regular maintenance of essential systems suggest proactive property management, though prospective tenants should note the property's age and the typical maintenance requirements for a structure of its vintage.

Risk rating

How 415 14Th 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

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 1350 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 77.4%
Moderate concern 18.1%
Severe concern 4.6%
