Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 675 2nd Avenue in the Inner Richmond district is a duplex property owned by the Lee-tang Family 2018 Trust, constructed in 1905 and containing two units. The building's maintenance and improvement history shows regular attention to structural and comfort needs, with significant work completed in the late 1990s including a reroofing project in 1998, the addition of bathroom storage and a guest room on the ground floor, and the installation of six aluminum windows in existing frames. Earlier records from the 1980s indicate necessary repairs were made to address dry-rot issues affecting the base of five posts in 1986, demonstrating proactive maintenance of structural elements.

The most recent incident involving the property was recorded in February 2021, when city services responded to a report of abandoned encampment items requiring pickup, which was successfully resolved by Recology. This incident appears to be related to street-level sanitation rather than an issue directly impacting the building's structural integrity or resident safety. The documented permit and maintenance history suggests that while the building is over 100 years old, it has received periodic updates and repairs to address both cosmetic and structural needs, with no recent patterns of maintenance concerns or safety-related incidents on record.

Risk rating

How 675 2Nd 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 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 569 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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

Building age

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 81.2%
Moderate concern 12.8%
Severe concern 6.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
