Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1930-1932 Balboa Street in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by June Jin-huey Tseng, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1988. The property has faced several significant issues in recent years, particularly in 2017 when multiple complaints were filed regarding unauthorized modifications. This includes an active complaint about an illegal in-law unit with kitchen/stove facilities filed in March 2017, along with the legalization process for a wet bar and associated cabinetry work, which was initially prompted by a complaint about a staircase wall blocking access from the master bedroom. While some permitting processes were initiated to address these modifications, including a filed permit in June 2017 for various improvements, there remains notable regulatory activity from 2017 that could indicate unresolved compliance issues.

The building's more recent history shows typical urban maintenance concerns, with several 311 calls between 2021 and 2024 primarily related to street cleaning and parking issues, including reports of garbage and debris, an abandoned vehicle, and a blocked driveway situation. The most recent service calls were for routine municipal issues rather than building-specific problems, suggesting no recent complaints about the building's structural or habitability conditions. Historical records from 1986 show the demolition of a previous structure on the site before the current building was constructed. The property has undergone minimal major modifications since its original construction, with the most substantial changes being the attempts to legalize various interior improvements in 2017.

Risk rating

How 1930-1932 Balboa St'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.
