Initial analysis

The property at 759-761 18th Avenue, located in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood, is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1923, currently owned by Tyrone G F & Helen T Chin R. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most substantial renovations occurring in late 2004 when the electrical system was upgraded to 200-amp service with extensive rewiring in the kitchen and bathroom, and a comprehensive renovation of kitchen and bathroom facilities including new cabinets, appliances, fixtures, and finishes costing over $15,000. Earlier structural improvements include a horizontal addition completed in 1988 and a street space permit issued in 2015.

The property has experienced recurring parking-related issues in recent years, particularly in December 2022, when multiple complaints were filed about a black Toyota Prius blocking driveways, resulting in citations. An abandoned vehicle complaint in October 2019 was resolved when the vehicle was no longer present upon inspection, and there was a similar driveway blocking incident involving a gray Scion XB in January 2019. These transportation-related incidents, while not direct reflections on the building's condition or management, indicate ongoing challenges with street parking and access in the vicinity. The building's documented history shows regular maintenance and upgrades to critical systems, with no recorded safety violations or major incidents that would impact resident safety or comfort.

Risk rating

How 759-761 18Th 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.
