Initial analysis

This three-story, three-unit multi-family residential building located at 567-569 12th Avenue in the Inner Richmond was built in 1908 and is currently owned by Kenneth & Cecilia Pui Hing. The property has undergone several significant improvements over its lifetime, with major renovations occurring in the early 2000s, including the installation of a ground floor sprinkler system, creation of storage, laundry, and bathroom facilities, and electrical upgrades comprising 16 lights, 4 switches, and 12 receptacles. The building experienced some concerning issues in the mid-1990s, with reports of a failing roof and deteriorating walls and stairs in 1996, though these problems were promptly addressed.

In 2010, the building underwent routine housing inspections that revealed several safety and maintenance issues, including fire safety violations related to extinguishers and escape routes, as well as the need for a utility gas shutoff tool. All these violations were abated by July 27, 2010. The building's infrastructure has faced recurring sewer issues, with documented sewage backup incidents in 2011 and 2013, and flooding problems on the property in 2014 and 2017. More recent maintenance issues have been limited to external matters such as sidewalk parking violations (2019, 2024), defaced parking signs (2022), and general street cleaning needs. The most recent building permit on record was issued in 2017 for streetspace work with no associated costs. While the property has had its share of maintenance challenges over the years, recent records indicate fewer building-specific issues, with most recent complaints relating to external factors rather than internal building conditions.

Risk rating

How 567-569 12Th 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

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 60.9%
Moderate concern 26.7%
Severe concern 12.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
