Initial analysis

The property at 2332 Balboa Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood. Built in 1925 and classified as a Flats & Duplex building, it is currently owned by the Wong Henry K F Trust. The building's permit history is minimal, with only one recorded permit from 1990 related to electrical work, which was completed. A notable tenant complaint was filed in April 2008 regarding an unauthorized deadbolt installation on the kitchen door by the owner, which restricted a tenant's access and egress, though this issue was resolved within a month.

The building has experienced several minor incidents and enforcement actions over the past five years, primarily related to parking violations in the surrounding area. These include three documented cases of sidewalk parking (June 2019, December 2019, and December 2018), with enforcement officers often unable to locate the offending vehicles. There have also been instances of illegal postings (October 2019) and graffiti (March 2020) on or near the property, though these issues were relatively minor and had minimal impact on the building's condition. Most recently, in September 2024, there was a reported encampment situation, though this appears to have been resolved promptly. While there have been multiple external incidents around the property, including parking violations and graffiti, these do not necessarily reflect on the building's internal condition or management. The most significant incident on record remains the 2008 tenant access issue, which was resolved through the intervention of Housing Inspection Services.

Risk rating

How 2332 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

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 1395 are predicted to be safer.
