Initial analysis

The property at 723-725 25th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1979, currently owned by the Pearl Chan Survivors Trust. The building's recent history (2018-2024) has been marked by significant renovation and compliance efforts, most notably an ongoing legalization process under Ordinance 43-14 to convert a first-floor social room into legal living spaces, including a bedroom and living area with associated kitchen and bathroom facilities. This process, which began in late 2019, represents a critical compliance initiative addressing past unauthorized modifications.

Between 2018-2019, the property underwent substantial renovations including a 2nd-floor kitchen and bathroom remodel ($60,000) that involved bearing wall modifications, followed by plumbing and electrical updates. Additional exterior work was performed in 2018 with the installation of lap siding on two walls. The building's permit history also reveals previous attempts to address unauthorized modifications, with permits from 2002 aimed at removing an illegal basement unit and kitchen, though these permits ultimately expired. More recent maintenance issues documented through 311 calls have included typical urban challenges such as waste management (e.g., Christmas tree removal, toter placement), though none directly indicate structural or safety concerns. The property has experienced periodic issues with construction-related access during renovation work in 2020-2021, including instances of blocked sidewalks and a temporary Port-A-Potty placement, but these were addressed through proper channels and permits.

Risk rating

How 723-725 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
88th percentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 270 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 84.6%
Moderate concern 9.8%
Severe concern 5.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
