Initial analysis

The Gaw Family Trust property located at 563-565 22nd Avenue in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood is a three-story, two-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1984. The building has undergone several significant maintenance upgrades over the years, most recently receiving fiber cement siding installation at the back right side in 2021 (cost: $21,750), and had reroofing work completed in 2009 (cost: $7,000). In October 2009, there was a complaint regarding an unauthorized room construction on the roof, which led to subsequent repairs of dry rot at the penthouse level's front facade (approximately 120 square feet), though this work was not visible from the street.

Recent maintenance and compliance records show regular attention to building upkeep, including a notable 2023 pavement defect issue in September that required contractor intervention for final restoration. The property has experienced periodic sidewalk and street cleaning needs, with several reports of loose garbage and debris between 2022-2023. There were multiple parking enforcement calls in 2020 regarding sidewalk parking violations, though most reported issues could not be validated upon police response. The building's history includes one recorded fire incident classified as "111 Building fire" with an unintentional ignition cause, though no civilian injuries were reported. The property has maintained active compliance with building codes and permits, with recent records showing all major repairs and upgrades properly documented and completed.

Risk rating

How 563-565 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
88th percentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 270 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Notices of Violation, owner's portfolio

DBI NOVs across all buildings this owner is registered on — a signal of systemic maintenance issues across the portfolio.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 86.5%
Moderate concern 9.3%
Severe concern 4.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
