Initial analysis

The property at 543 19th Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood. Built in 1924, this flats and duplex-style building has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, most notably a comprehensive kitchen remodel in 2014 that included cabinet replacement, counter updates, and sink/faucet installations in the lower unit, along with extensive electrical upgrades including the addition of multiple new outlets throughout various rooms. The building received new forced air furnaces for both units in late 2014, with corresponding electrical work completed to support the new systems. Two lead removal complaints were filed in October 2014, which were subsequently addressed, and a street space permit was issued in 2019.

The property has experienced recurring issues with parking enforcement, particularly related to driveway blockages, with multiple citations issued between 2022 and 2025. There have been several maintenance-related service requests in the vicinity, including tree maintenance calls in 2023 and 2024, and an illegal posting complaint in 2024. The building's permit history shows an earlier re-roofing permit from 1989, though this is now considered expired. The only recorded fire-related incident was a false alarm in 2005, which required no actual response or resulted in any injuries. The building's overall history suggests regular maintenance and improvements, with the most significant work occurring during 2014 when multiple systems and features were upgraded.

Risk rating

How 543 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

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 1035 are predicted to be safer.
