Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 814-816 25th Avenue, located in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood, has a documented history spanning several decades since its construction in 1924. Most recently, the property underwent some significant improvements including a complete reroofing project in 2020 costing nearly $18,000, and the addition of six new electrical outlets in early 2020. The building also received attention to its exterior in 1989 with repairs addressing dry rot and re-stuccoing of the front facade. Multiple roofing projects were attempted in 1997, though their permits show as expired, which is perhaps unsurprising given their age.

Recent incidents affecting the property have primarily involved external issues rather than structural concerns. The most significant recent event was a flooding incident in April 2019 that involved grease buildup in the building's trap, though city sewer staff indicated the city's side was running properly. There have been recurring issues with driveway blocking, particularly in 2024 (with documented citations), and several instances of overgrown tree problems affecting street lighting in 2021. Additionally, there have been some public space maintenance matters including a burnt-out street light in 2011 and graffiti removal in 2021. While the building has experienced some typical urban maintenance issues, there are no documented safety concerns or major structural problems in the recent past, and the property appears to be regularly maintained, with the most recent significant improvements being relatively substantial in nature compared to historical standards.

Risk rating

How 814-816 25Th 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
66th percentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 765 are predicted to be safer.
