Initial analysis

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 758 21st Avenue in the Central Richmond district, owned by the Lim Family Trust, is a two-story structure dating back to 1921. The property has undergone at least two documented maintenance events: a reroofing project completed in July 1992 and a street space permit issued in April 2015 for a nominal cost of $1. While these maintenance records show some attention to the building's upkeep, the significant time gap between the two permits (over 22 years) is notable.

In terms of neighborhood incidents, there have been two documented parking-related issues near the property over the past three years. In March 2020, there was a confirmed case of sidewalk parking that resulted in a citation, and in December 2021, there was a report of an abandoned four-door Honda sedan that was closed when officers arrived and the vehicle was no longer present. Neither of these incidents directly relates to the building's condition or management, but they do provide some context about the surrounding street environment. At present, there are no recorded safety violations or urgent maintenance issues associated with the building, and the documented permits suggest regular, though infrequent, attention to necessary building maintenance.

Risk rating

How 758 21St 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.
