Initial analysis

The two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 585-591 14th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood was built in 1921 and is currently owned by Leung Chee H & Evelyn Fam T. The building's maintenance history shows several significant improvements, including a complete reroofing project in October 2012 costing $32,000, and a water heater installation in June 2012, though this permit has since expired. In 1983, work was completed to bring the building into code compliance.

The property has experienced multiple fire safety-related issues over the years, with violations documented in August 2002 and July 2010. The 2002 routine inspection revealed problems including unserviceable fire extinguishers that required recharging and dating, as well as issues with fire escape drop ladders, though all these violations were abated by September 18, 2002. The July 2010 inspection similarly noted concerns about fire extinguisher accessibility and maintenance, though these violations were closed within a month. More recently, the building has experienced four fire alarm activations between 2021 and 2022, though in all cases, no civilian injuries were reported and the causes were attributed to system malfunction or smoke scares.

Risk rating

How 585-591 14Th 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 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 1778 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood location

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

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 55.1%
Moderate concern 25.6%
Severe concern 19.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
