Initial analysis

The property at 434 2nd Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Richmond district is a duplex residential building owned by Keith M. and Pamela L. Uyeda, dating back to 1902. The two-unit structure has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past two decades, including a $24,000 kitchen remodel with updated floors, cabinets, and fixtures completed in 2022 at the connected unit (436 2nd Avenue), dry rot repairs to stairs and railings in 2019, reroofing work in 2011, and mainline plumbing repairs in 2010. A plumbing-related water intrusion issue was reported in March 2017, which affected both this property and the neighboring 430 2nd Avenue, though this complaint was abated shortly thereafter.

The building's recent history shows regular response to municipal service requests, primarily related to street maintenance and public space upkeep. Between 2019 and 2023, there have been several instances of street cleaning needs, sign repairs, and waste management services in the vicinity. The most recent service request, from May 2023, involves a missing street cleaning sign that is currently still open. While these external maintenance issues have been addressed through city services, they primarily relate to the public space around the building rather than the building's internal systems or structure itself.

Risk rating

How 434 2Nd 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

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.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 79.8%
Moderate concern 14.5%
Severe concern 5.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
