Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2326-2328 Balboa Street in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1925, currently owned by Wang Living Trust The. The building's maintenance history shows several significant structural and safety-related improvements, including a completed reroofing project in 1993 and a wood post relocation in the garage area in 1991. An expired permit from 1989 for "E.w.o. (s)" work is on record, and there is a completed building use permit from 1982 for dwelling purposes.

Recent activity around the property has been primarily related to street and sidewalk maintenance, with nine separate 311 calls between September and January 2024-2025 regarding garbage and debris, including three reports of loose garbage/yard waste, two instances of furniture debris, and multiple abandoned toter complaints. There were also two incidents of illegal parking reported to MTA, with one resulting in a citation. While these external maintenance issues have been consistently addressed and resolved by city services, they represent a notable pattern of street-level maintenance challenges in the immediate vicinity of the building over the past several months.

Risk rating

How 2326-2328 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
