Initial analysis

The Huang Family Trust owns this two-unit multi-family residential building located at 560 2nd Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood. Built in 1908, the two-story flats and duplex structure has undergone several significant renovations over the years. Between 1995-1996, major improvements included a horizontal addition, conversion from a sloped to flat roof, remodeling of two kitchens and bathrooms, and the installation of smoke detectors. In 2008, important maintenance work was performed on the front staircase, which had possible termite damage, along with sewer line replacement. More recently, in early 2024, a main service electrical upgrade from 125A to 200A was issued, indicating attention to modern infrastructure needs.

The property has experienced recurring issues with waste management, particularly in 2013-2014, with multiple reports of garbage cans being left out continuously, though most of these complaints were ultimately resolved, with some requiring formal notification letters. The most recent infrastructure work, including the electrical service upgrade and previous sewer repair, suggests regular maintenance of essential systems. The building's recent history shows proper attention to structural safety (stairs) and infrastructure modernization (electrical system), while historical records from the 1990s demonstrate significant investment in improving living spaces and safety features. The property appears to be well-maintained from a structural perspective, with major systems being updated as needed, though there have been periodic challenges with waste management that have required intervention.

Risk rating

How 560 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
73th percentile

Out of 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 465 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 82.8%
Moderate concern 13.0%
Severe concern 4.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
