Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 762-764 15th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1923, currently owned by Szeto Kwan Ming. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past 30+ years, with the most substantial recent work occurring in early 2021, including comprehensive electrical system upgrades with a new 100-amp subpanel, bathroom remodeling with new fixtures and plumbing work, and various maintenance tasks including repair of dry rot and sheetrock installation, totaling approximately $23,000. Earlier improvements from the 1990s involved converting basement storage rooms into living spaces and ceiling/wall renovations on the third floor. Notably, the building experienced a brief period of tenant concern regarding high utility bills in 1995, though this was addressed within one month.

The property has been subject to numerous parking-related complaints between 2020 and 2024, with multiple reports of abandoned vehicles and illegal parking in the vicinity, most of which were resolved when responding officers arrived at the scene. These parking issues, while not directly affecting the building's condition or systems, have been a recurring theme in the area. The most recent building records show no active permits or major structural issues, and all documented repairs and improvements have been properly completed according to permit records. The building's maintenance history suggests regular upkeep, with particular attention paid to updating its electrical systems and living spaces in recent years.

Risk rating

How 762-764 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

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

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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 79.0%
Moderate concern 14.8%
Severe concern 6.2%
