Initial analysis

The Yu Family Trust's property at 735 19th Avenue in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1922. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most recent major work occurring in 2018, when comprehensive kitchen renovations were completed including new cabinets, countertops, sink, flooring, and associated electrical and plumbing work totaling $12,000. The property's maintenance history reveals attention to safety concerns, particularly regarding stairs, which were addressed in 2003 when unsound stairs were replaced to meet code requirements ($8,000). Earlier repairs included window replacements in 2005, though this permit has since expired.

Of particular note are a series of fire safety violations documented in October 2002, which were promptly addressed and abated by October 2003. These violations included issues with fire extinguisher maintenance, fire proofing, combustible storage, smoke enclosure door requirements, and exterior stair maintenance. The building has also experienced routine inspections and some minor building issues, such as a broken window in 2005, which took several years to resolve. Recent activity at the address has primarily consisted of external maintenance matters, with the most recent 311 calls in 2022-2023 relating to parking issues and garbage concerns. The property has had minimal recent fire incidents, with only one false alarm on record. The building's documented history suggests regular maintenance and prompt attention to safety issues, particularly during the early 2000s when multiple violations were addressed.

Risk rating

How 735 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.

Neighborhood percentile
33th percentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 1508 are predicted to be safer.

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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 66.1%
Moderate concern 18.2%
Severe concern 15.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
