Initial analysis

The 12-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 790 22nd Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood, constructed in 1926, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over its history. Most notably, the building underwent a completed mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit in 2018-2023, which was a critical safety improvement, though there were previous compliance issues in 2017 and 2021 regarding proper filing and permit processing. The building's systems have seen various updates, including a steam and hot water boiler replacement in 2014, though there were permit renewal lapses noted in 2015 and 2019. Multiple fire safety concerns have been documented, with violations for alarm systems and extinguisher maintenance in 2016, though these were subsequently corrected.

Recent tenant complaints from 2023 indicate ongoing challenges with waste management, specifically regarding inadequate trash, recycling, and composting facilities for the building's size. Historical maintenance issues include multiple violations from 2000 related to water damage, fire safety, interior surface problems, and structural concerns, though these were all abated by November 2000. The building has also experienced periodic issues with its fire alarm system, with several documented activations due to malfunction, and periodic concerns about blocked exits and exit maintenance between 2009 and 2022, all of which were ultimately resolved. A significant mold infestation was reported in 2013, resulting in a complaint that was corrected by early 2014. While the building has had its share of maintenance challenges over the years, most recent violations and complaints have been addressed, with particular attention to fire safety systems being a recurring focus of inspections and corrections.

Risk rating

How 790 22Nd 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, 2182 are predicted to be safer.
