Initial analysis

The property at 779-781 24th Avenue is a two-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by the Fung Lin Wong Survivor's Trust. Built in 1923, this two-story flats and duplex building has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance work over the past two decades. Most recently, in December 2024, the building was issued a permit for re-roofing work with an estimated cost of $19,000. Previous major improvements include a substantial kitchen remodel in 2004 costing $45,000, the installation of 18 vinyl windows that same year ($6,033), and a comprehensive electrical upgrade in 2005 that included adding new appliances and upgrading the main service to 200 amps.

The property has experienced recurring issues with driveway blocking, particularly during late 2018 when multiple citations were issued for this offense, suggesting a pattern of parking difficulties in the vicinity. There have also been two reports of abandoned vehicles near the property, both in 2015 and 2018, though in each case, the vehicles were gone when authorities arrived to investigate. More recent neighborhood concerns have primarily involved street cleaning issues, with the most recent reports in 2023 and 2022 relating to loose garbage and abandoned vehicles, though these were external to the property itself. The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep, with multiple roofing projects completed over the years, including a previous re-roofing project in 2004 costing $5,450, indicating ongoing attention to major systems and infrastructure.

Risk rating

How 779-781 24Th 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.
