Initial analysis

The property at 722-724 44th Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Outer Richmond neighborhood. Owned by Joan Hu and constructed in 1946, this flats and duplex building has undergone several notable improvements over the years, including a complete reroofing project in 2011 costing $9,240, and a ground floor remodeling for recreation and exercise purposes in 1988. In the electrical system, a permit was filed in 2003 for a 100 amp service upgrade and various safety improvements, though this permit was ultimately cancelled.

The most significant recent issues affecting the property primarily relate to parking enforcement matters, with multiple incidents of vehicles blocking driveways and sidewalks documented between 2022 and 2024. While most of these cases were resolved through citations, some have been marked as "Unable to Locate" when officers responded to the complaints. Additionally, there have been several complaints regarding tree maintenance, with a tree pruning request in July 2023 being denied due to the city's maintenance schedule and a separate complaint from May 2023 about privately maintained vegetation blocking a sidewalk that remains open. The building's permit history suggests regular maintenance and improvements have been undertaken over the decades, though the concentration of parking-related issues in recent years may indicate ongoing challenges in the immediate vicinity.

Risk rating

How 722-724 44Th 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

Out of 1040 buildings in this neighborhood, 426 are predicted to be safer.
