Initial analysis

The two-story multi-family residential building at 414 11th Avenue in the Inner Richmond, owned by Benny Wah & Jenny Lam Lew F, is a vintage 1915 flats/duplex structure containing two units. The building has undergone several significant maintenance updates, with the most recent being a completed reroofing project in June 2024 costing $12,800. This follows a historical record of roof work in 1994, which expired, and a street space permit issued in 2017. A notable health and safety concern emerged in September 2017 when complaints were filed regarding peeling lead-based paint, prompting four Notices of Violation (NOVs) that were all abated by November 29, 2017. These violations included recommendations about proper paint handling procedures to mitigate lead exposure risks, particularly emphasizing safety precautions for vulnerable populations.

The property has had several 311 calls recorded between 2018 and 2023, primarily related to street cleaning issues, including reports of loose garbage, illegal postings, and incidents requiring general street service requests. These external maintenance and cleanliness matters, while not directly related to the building's internal conditions, provide insight into the surrounding neighborhood's upkeep during this period. The building's most recent major structural improvement (the 2024 reroofing project) suggests active maintenance by the current ownership, though the lead paint violations from 2017 indicate a historical period requiring remedial attention to resident safety concerns.

Risk rating

How 414 11Th 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 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 482 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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 80.4%
Moderate concern 16.3%
Severe concern 3.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
