Initial analysis

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 527 22nd Avenue in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by Dea Family Trust, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1922. The only building permit on record is from 1996 for reroofing work, which has since expired. In 2024, there have been multiple parking-related incidents near the property, with eight documented cases of vehicles blocking driveways between January and June, resulting in at least three citations being issued. These incidents show a notable pattern of parking violations, with various vehicle types involved, primarily Toyotas. Other reported incidents include one case of an abandoned vehicle (determined to have "No Merit"), one street cleaning request that found "Nothing," and two instances of parking violations that officers were unable to locate the offending vehicles. The frequency and consistency of parking-related issues in recent months suggest ongoing challenges with parking enforcement in the immediate vicinity of the building.

Risk rating

How 527 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, 990 are predicted to be safer.
