Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 431 14th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1920, currently owned by Kwong Kwok Fu & Fung S W. The property has undergone significant recent renovations, with comprehensive remodeling projects in both 2015 and 2016 that included updates to kitchens and bathrooms (toilets, sinks, cabinets, lights), along with associated plumbing and electrical work. There were major plumbing issues in 2015, including a sewer drainage problem that resulted in a violation notice and required repairs, though this was promptly addressed by April 2015. The building has a documented history of structural improvements, including a basement bedroom and half-bath construction in 1994, though the 2002 reroofing permit appears to be expired.

Recent activity at the property has primarily consisted of external maintenance and environmental management issues, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls between 2020 and 2024 regarding park services and street cleaning. These calls typically related to garbage, debris, and horticultural maintenance, with most cases being resolved promptly by city services. Two building-related complaints were filed in 2015, one concerning possible illegal units in the basement and another about sewage leakage, though both complaints were subsequently marked as not active. The property's record shows regular maintenance and updating of essential systems, with particular attention to plumbing and electrical infrastructure, suggesting ongoing investment in maintaining and improving living conditions.

Risk rating

How 431 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, 968 are predicted to be safer.
