Initial analysis

The property at 718-720 19th Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood. Built in 1922 and classified as a Flats & Duplex building, the property is currently owned by Rene H & Maureen Revel. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past decades, with the most recent major work being completed in 2021 when seven windows at the front of the building were replaced at a cost of $40,000 with high-quality Marvin windows featuring aluminum clad wood, casement openings, and decorative muntins. Prior to that, a foundation underpinning project was completed in 1990, and a reroofing project was issued in 2017 at a cost of $9,000.

The property has experienced periodic street-related issues in its vicinity, with multiple reports of abandoned vehicles (2019-2022) and parking violations, including instances of driveway blocking, though all these cases were resolved through citations or were noted as vehicles being gone upon arrival of enforcement personnel. There have also been some maintenance matters addressed, including a damaged tree with hanging limbs reported in 2020 and a human/animal waste issue in 2022, both of which were resolved. The most recent infrastructure improvement (window replacement) suggests ongoing maintenance and upgrading of the building's exterior by the current owners. While most reported issues are related to street parking and sidewalk maintenance rather than building-specific concerns, the property's permit history demonstrates regular upkeep of major systems, including windows and roofing.

Risk rating

How 718-720 19Th 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.
