Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 875 24th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1923, currently owned by Madeline C Lau Survivors Tr. The property experienced significant water-related issues in early 2023, with a complaint filed in January regarding water intrusion, mold concerns, and ceiling leaks affecting bathroom and bedroom areas, along with reports of lead paint issues. These environmental concerns appear to have prompted two subsequent improvements: in February 2023, interior renovations were completed including drywall installation and floor tiling in a toilet room, and more recently in August 2024, a complete reroofing project was undertaken at a cost of $19,600.

The building has a history of parking-related incidents in the vicinity, particularly between 2019 and 2022, with multiple reports of vehicles parking on sidewalks and driveways, though not all reported violations were validated by responding officers. Most of these parking enforcement issues were resolved through citations or other means. A construction-related noise complaint was filed and resolved in June 2024, and an earlier service request regarding public works was transferred in August 2021. The only missed waste management incident on record occurred in January 2017, when garbage bins were reportedly left out continuously, though this was resolved following inspection.

Risk rating

How 875 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.
