Initial analysis

The property at 831 24th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood is a two-unit, two-story residential building constructed in 1924 and currently owned by the Kwong Family Trust. The building has experienced several significant issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns occurring between late 2023 and early 2024. In January 2024, tenants reported serious problems including a rotting fire escape stairwell, unmaintained heating system, pest control issues, and safety concerns regarding blocked exits and rusty nails. These problems were followed by multiple building violations in February 2024, including issues with weatherproofing, window hardware, and smoke/carbon monoxide alarm compliance, though records show these violations were abated by December 2024. The building has undergone various improvements over the years, including a service upgrade in 2002, addition of a home office and half bath in 2002, reroofing in 1992, and installation of aluminum windows in 1983. The most recent work, completed in April 2024, involved the replacement of six windows on the back of the residence.

The property has a history of parking-related issues in the immediate vicinity, with several complaints about driveway blocking between 2018 and 2023, though enforcement officers were often unable to locate the offending vehicles. While these parking issues are not directly related to the building's condition, they indicate ongoing challenges with parking management in the area. The building's maintenance history shows periodic updates and repairs, but the recent cluster of violations and tenant complaints suggests that some aspects of building maintenance and safety systems had significantly deteriorated prior to the most recent window replacement and violation abatement.

Risk rating

How 831 24Th 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.
