Initial analysis

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 746 20th Avenue in the Central Richmond district is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1924, currently owned by the Low Gene K & Hannah S Trust. The property has a relatively clean compliance record, with one notable complaint filed in May 2015 regarding a possible illegal unit constructed behind the garage, though this complaint is currently listed as "Not Active" with Housing Inspection Services. The building has required minimal street space permits, with the most recent one issued in August 2018 valued at $0.00.

The property has experienced several infrastructure-related incidents in the surrounding area, including two streetlight issues (one dim light in February 2020 and one burnt out light in October 2017), both of which were promptly resolved by PG&E technicians. There was one significant infrastructure issue reported in 2015 regarding a collapsed sidewalk, though this case was deemed invalid and referred to SFMTA Parking Enforcement. The area has seen multiple reports of abandoned vehicles between 2011 and 2015, though all were resolved with no vehicles found upon inspection. More recent service calls have been primarily related to minor street and sidewalk cleaning needs, including a general cleaning request in September 2015 and a street service request in September 2018, both of which were completed successfully. While these incidents indicate some ongoing maintenance and enforcement activity in the vicinity, they are typical of urban environments and do not appear to directly impact the building's current condition or habitability.

Risk rating

How 746 20Th 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

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 675 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.

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.

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 84.9%
Moderate concern 11.6%
Severe concern 3.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
