Initial analysis

The duplex residential building at 706-708 15th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1923, currently owned by Juliette A Kruse 2016 Trust. The property has undergone several significant improvements, most notably the recent addition of an elevator to replace the existing service stairs, with permits issued in May 2024 including associated electrical and plumbing work. Another major renovation occurred in 2008, involving comprehensive updates to both units including kitchen and bathroom remodels, electrical system upgrades to 200 amps service, and installation of new heating systems. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, including a reroofing project in 2008. While there was one concerning incident in 2008 involving improper interior demolition that was quickly addressed within a week of being reported, this appears to be an isolated occurrence.

The property has experienced multiple parking-related issues in recent years, with several complaints about vehicles blocking driveways and parking illegally, though these are typical urban neighborhood concerns and have generally been addressed by parking enforcement. A short-term rental violation was recorded in 2016 but was resolved with the removal of the listing and payment of penalties. Recent maintenance work includes the installation of new on-demand hot water heaters in 2022, indicating ongoing property improvements. The building's permits and service records show regular infrastructure upgrades and maintenance, suggesting proper management of the property’s needs over time.

Risk rating

How 706-708 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.
