Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 694 28th Avenue in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood is a two-story flat and store structure built in 1922, currently owned by Qualified Terminable Int Pr. The property has a documented history of maintenance and compliance issues, with the most recent significant concern being repeated sanitation problems in early 2025, with multiple reports of overflowing city garbage cans between January 1 and January 11, 2025. The building underwent several important improvements, including reroofing work in 2015 (cost: $9,500), water meter and house line installation for the commercial store in 2011, and electrical system upgrades in the same year.

The property has faced multiple compliance challenges over the years, most notably in March 2011 when it received several violations that were subsequently abated by April 2011, including issues with inoperable wall heaters, missing smoke alarms, and peeling paint in bathrooms and bedrooms. The commercial storefront portion of the property has experienced vacancy issues, with complaints filed in 2018 and 2019 regarding non-compliance with the vacant storefront ordinance, though these violations were eventually resolved. Earlier maintenance work included roof repairs between buildings in 1991 and front stair repairs in 1989. Recent records from early 2025 indicate persistent issues with waste management in the vicinity of the property.

Risk rating

How 694 28Th 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
