Initial analysis

The property at 706 43rd Avenue in the Outer Richmond is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1946, currently owned by Jimmy Y. Fong and Joice. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most recent being a substantial reroofing project completed in 2022 at a cost of $17,320. In 2005, the building underwent major interior renovations including work in the living room, dining room, kitchen, and bathroom areas on both floors, along with electrical rewiring of the first floor involving installation of lights, switches, receptacles, and circuits. Earlier modifications included the installation of Alcoa vinyl siding in 1989 and a previous roofing project in 1990.

The property has experienced a number of municipal service calls in recent years, most notably three driveway blocking incidents in August 2024 that resulted in citations, and a sidewalk parking violation in July 2022. Other street-related issues include reports of loose garbage in 2021-2024, a curb defect identified in February 2021, and one abandoned vehicle report from September 2021. While these incidents primarily relate to parking and street maintenance rather than building conditions, they are worth noting for contextual understanding of the property's immediate environment. The building's documented history shows regular maintenance and improvements, with no recorded safety violations or significant structural concerns in recent years.

Risk rating

How 706 43Rd 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, 572 are predicted to be safer.
