Initial analysis

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 566-568 16th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by Donald & Joes M Woo Revoc T, has a complex history dating back to its 1914 construction. The most recent significant work involved completing previously approved dryrot repairs on the back siding in September 2023, though this was a continuation of a 2021 permit. In 2014-2015, substantial improvements were made to the property, including the legalization of a basement in-law unit with associated electrical and plumbing work totaling approximately $38,000. The building has undergone several maintenance and improvement projects over the years, including reroofing in 1994, basement sheetrock installation in 1992, and several exterior improvements such as garage door replacement and front stucco work.

The property has faced some community concerns, most notably during 2014 when there were complaints about a construction business operating from the residence with multiple trucks, though this was subsequently abated. Parking-related issues have been frequent in the vicinity, with multiple citations for sidewalk parking reported between 2022-2023, though these are external to the building itself. A sidewalk defect was documented in 2012 involving approximately 60 square feet of damaged pavement that required inspection and potentially remediation. The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep, with permits for various repairs and improvements being properly obtained, though some earlier permits from 1992 and 1994 are shown as expired.

Risk rating

How 566-568 16Th 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
79th percentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 472 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.

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 76.8%
Moderate concern 19.5%
Severe concern 3.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
