Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 574-576 22nd Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by Edmund C & Hermancia B Lai, has undergone several significant renovations since its construction in 1992. The property has seen consistent upgrades to its kitchen and bathroom facilities, with completed projects in 2020 ($5,000), 2017 ($30,000), and 2016 ($34,000), including the installation of new cabinets, tiles, fixtures, and lighting. The building's infrastructure received substantial improvements in 2019-2020, including the installation of a radiant pex-tube heating system and condensate combination boiler, though some related permits expired. The electrical system was also upgraded, with a new subpanel and additional installations completed in 2016 and 2018.

More recently, in 2023, there was a temporary issue with construction equipment blocking the sidewalk, though this was resolved promptly within a few days. The property has experienced multiple parking enforcement issues in 2020, with six documented cases of driveway violations, including one resulting in a citation. An environmental health service request was made in November 2019, which was transferred to the DPH Environmental Health Healthy Housing & Vector Control Program. The building's early history includes significant construction activities in the late 1980s and early 1990s, including vertical and horizontal additions, along with foundation and framing revisions. The property's maintenance record shows regular updates to essential systems, though some permits have expired or required amendments, indicating the need for careful monitoring of permit status and completion requirements.

Risk rating

How 574-576 22Nd 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, 698 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 82.5%
Moderate concern 11.4%
Severe concern 6.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
