Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 569 4th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Richmond district is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1906, currently owned by Kin Kwok and Po Yim Chau Revo. The building's maintenance record shows three significant permitted improvements: a reroofing project in 1996 (permit expired), a basement remodeling and bathroom modification project in 1992 (completed), and the installation of 29 aluminum windows in 1984 (completed).

The property has experienced persistent issues with illegal parking in the vicinity, particularly alongside the sidewalk, with multiple violations reported between 2022 and 2024. These included incidents in 2023 involving a gray Nissan hatchback and gray Nissan Rogue, with enforcement officers consistently unable to locate the offending vehicles. A documented parking violation in October 2022 resulted in a citation being issued. Infrastructure concerns in the immediate area have been addressed, with several pavement defect reports in 2022 being resolved by Public Works and PUC Sewer Operations. Other municipal services responded to various neighborhood issues, including a sewer-related inquiry in October 2022 and a general cleaning request for loose garbage in February 2022. While the building's structural improvements suggest regular maintenance over the decades, the more recent focus of 311 calls has been on external neighborhood issues rather than building-specific concerns.

Risk rating

How 569 4Th 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, 500 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.

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.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 81.7%
Moderate concern 12.8%
Severe concern 5.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
