Initial analysis

The three-story, 14-unit multi-family residential building at 595 22nd Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by T & A Drolapas & Sons Lp, has undergone several significant structural and safety improvements since its construction in 1926. Most notably, the building completed its Tier 3 soft-story retrofit in 2017 to comply with seismic safety requirements, demonstrating investment in structural safety. Other major improvements include a roof recovery project in 2007 ($18,000), the replacement of the steam boiler in 2016, and various fire safety corrections through routine inspections. The building has experienced multiple fire safety-related issues, particularly in 2003-2007 when it faced several violations regarding fire escapes, egress obstructions, combustible storage, and alarm system repairs, though these were all subsequently abated by January 2007.

Recent maintenance and safety records indicate ongoing attention to building systems, with the most recent fire safety complaint about extinguishers documented in October 2023 being promptly corrected. The building's plumbing systems have also received attention, with complaints about radiator leaks and water issues occurring in 2007-2012, including a concerning incident in 2012 with mold, electrical issues, and drainage problems in one unit. Recent 311 calls (2022-2024) around the property have primarily concerned external issues like sidewalk cleaning, pavement defects, and utility-related matters, rather than internal building conditions. The property appears to have maintained active compliance with fire safety regulations since 2017, though there have been recurring fire safety concerns documented through inspections and complaints, including issues with fire extinguishers, exits, and alarm systems between 2016 and 2023, all of which were generally addressed promptly.

Risk rating

How 595 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
2th percentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 2205 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building size

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

Neighborhood location

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 19.8%
Moderate concern 34.8%
Severe concern 45.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
