Initial analysis

The property at 430-432 3rd Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood is a two-story, multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, containing two units and owned by Ada Ching Leung. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade, most notably the installation of a new fire sprinkler system in 2018-2019 (cost: $25,000), comprehensive renovations in 2017-2018 including bathroom additions, laundry facilities, and a new 200-amp service installation. A major permit revision in 2022 ($52,350) converted glass to wood with stucco finishes at the rear sunroom. The building's safety measures have been upgraded with a new fire alarm monitoring system installed in 2021 ($8,000), though there was a fire safety issue in 2018 involving blocked exits which was promptly corrected.

Recent concerns include a 2024 complaint regarding water damage and mold resulting from a leak in the bathroom wall, though this complaint is currently listed as "Not Active." The property has experienced multiple plumbing and electrical work extensions and renewals between 2014-2023, including furnace installations, bathroom remodels, and various system upgrades, indicating ongoing maintenance and improvements. An active building complaint from 2017 regarding unpermitted work on a rear extension and second-floor remodel appears to remain unresolved. The property has also been the subject of numerous parking-related incidents, primarily between 2021-2022, suggesting ongoing issues with parking enforcement in the area, though these are not directly related to the building's condition or management.

Risk rating

How 430-432 3Rd 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

Director's hearings, owner's portfolio

12-Month severity forecast

Moderate concern 11.1%
Severe concern 3.0%
