Initial analysis

The three-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 611-613 19th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by the Estate Of Amy C Hornung, has undergone several significant renovations since its construction in 1921. Most recently, in December 2024, a reroofing project with hot works was permitted at a cost of $14,000. The property has seen substantial interior improvements over the years, including a major renovation of unit 613 in 2009 valued at $20,000 that involved kitchen and bathroom cabinet upgrades, painting, and floor work, along with associated plumbing modifications. Earlier improvements include multiple bathroom and kitchen remodels in the late 1980s and necessary structural work such as stairway rebuilding and dry-rot repair in 1999.

The building's recent history has been marked by multiple 311 calls regarding garbage and debris issues, with ten reports of overflowing city garbage cans between December 2024 and January 2025, suggesting possible challenges with waste management in the area. A fire safety violation was recorded in October 2002 regarding garbage receptacle placement, though this was abated by November 2002. The property has undergone routine inspections by Housing Inspection Services and Building Inspection Division, with all noted issues having been resolved, including a 2009 complaint about unauthorized construction work that was promptly addressed within a week.

Risk rating

How 611-613 19Th 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.
