Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 681 25th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood, constructed in 1920 and containing two units, has undergone several significant changes and faced multiple compliance issues over its history. The most notable recent event occurred in 2010 when the building faced a major violation for unauthorized conversion of the ground floor (originally intended as a private parking garage) into an illegal dwelling unit, complete with kitchen and bathroom facilities. This violation was addressed through several permits in mid-2010, including electrical work to remove fixtures and plumbing work to eliminate unauthorized bathroom facilities, with the corrections completed by October 2010. Earlier structural changes include a vertical addition completed in 1998 that involved modifying the rear sunroom and deck, and a reroofing project completed in 1989.

The building has experienced various maintenance and safety issues over the years, including a serious situation in 1997-1999 involving collapsed ceiling over stairs, water leakage, and dangerous conditions in the backyard with exposed nails. More recent history shows ongoing external maintenance issues with multiple 311 calls in late 2024 regarding transit shelter damage, parking violations, and various street cleaning matters. While there was one documented fire alarm activation with no fire or injuries, this incident was not related to any structural or safety concerns of the building itself. The property changed ownership in 2023, with records showing Mahmoud Ghezavat and Christine as the current owners.

Risk rating

How 681 25Th 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
62th percentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 855 are predicted to be safer.
