Initial analysis

The property at 792-798 15th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1919 and currently owned by Ferrigno Family Living Trust. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past decades, with the most recent major updates occurring in 2021 when units 796 and 798 received comprehensive bathroom and kitchen rehabilitations, including washer and dryer replacements, with permits totaling approximately $73,600. The building has faced recurring issues with its rear stairs, with violations documented in 2014, 2016, and 2018 highlighting structural problems and safety concerns, though repairs were completed in 2017 at a cost of $25,000. Notable violations from 2016 involved weatherproofing and lead paint concerns, which were officially abated in 2019.

The property has a history of building maintenance and safety inspections, with documented violations in 2002 related to stairs and fire extinguisher requirements, which were subsequently addressed. Recent 311 calls (from 2023-2025) primarily relate to parking enforcement issues and sidewalk maintenance, indicating ongoing challenges with parking management around the building. A tenant buyout record shows one unit was vacated in 2018 for $45,670, though unit configuration at that time is unspecified. Other maintenance work in recent years includes exterior painting and various routine repairs as documented in the building's permit history. The building's age and history suggest typical urban maintenance challenges, with most recent violations being resolved through appropriate remediation efforts.

Risk rating

How 792-798 15Th 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

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.
