Initial analysis

The two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 867-869 25th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by Kathleen C. Gilmore and Paul V, has undergone significant recent renovations and faced some maintenance challenges. Built in 1936, this flats and duplex-style building has seen substantial updates in 2021, including comprehensive remodeling of two bathrooms and two kitchens, installation of new cabinets, and electrical upgrades including new lighting and outlets throughout. The building's infrastructure was further improved with the addition of new laundry systems, bathroom fans, and dedicated circuits. In 2022, additional electrical work was completed, including the installation of four sub-panels. Earlier maintenance records show the building underwent reroofing in 2004 and critical dry rot repairs and foundation work in 2002.

The property has experienced some maintenance issues in recent years, with notable plumbing concerns in June 2017 involving both a sewage backup and water leak, which required attention to the building's old galvanized pipes. A fire escape-related complaint was filed and subsequently closed with no merit in October 2024. The building's location has faced typical urban challenges, as evidenced by several 311 calls between 2017-2022 regarding street and sidewalk issues, though these were generally external to the building itself. The extensive renovations completed in 2021, totaling over $50,000 in permitted work, suggest significant investment in improving the property's amenities and infrastructure, while the more recent electrical work in March 2022 further indicates ongoing commitment to maintaining the building's systems.

Risk rating

How 867-869 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

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 135 are predicted to be safer.

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 86.5%
Moderate concern 9.7%
