Initial analysis

The property at 590 19th Avenue is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood. Built in 1916 and currently owned by Bruce K & Lucia A Mcspadden, this flats & duplex-style building has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past decades. Most recently, in early 2025, there have been multiple reports of overflowing city garbage cans in the vicinity, with ten such incidents recorded between December 2024 and January 2025.

The building has seen substantial recent infrastructure improvements, including the replacement of windows in 2018 and 2016, furnace replacement in 2014, and several plumbing upgrades such as sewer line replacement and trap replacement in 2013-2014. Two notable concerns emerged in 2014 when an unsafe rear deck was reported (though this complaint is no longer active) and there was a complaint about an unpermitted furnace installation from 2012, which was resolved by January 2015. Historical records show earlier significant work including basement renovations in 1987, foundation improvements (though originally cancelled) in 1991, and roofing work in 1997. The building appears to have received regular maintenance and upgrades, particularly focusing on windows, plumbing systems, and structural elements over the years.

Risk rating

How 590 19Th 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
