Initial analysis

The 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 875 25th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by Joan & Richard Stevens Trust, was constructed in 1936 and has undergone several significant improvements over the past decades. The most substantial recent work was the completed soft-story retrofit in 2017, which brought the building into compliance with seismic safety requirements, classified as a Tier 3 project. In late 2017, Unit 101 received a substantial renovation including kitchen and bathroom remodeling, window replacements, and electrical upgrades. The building's electrical system was significantly upgraded in 2003 with the installation of new service panels, and in 2017-2018, there were additional structural improvements involving steel frame modifications and new shear walls.

The building has a history of addressing safety concerns, notably a cluster of fire safety violations in 2003 that required attention to issues like fire escape maintenance, combustible storage, and fire proofing. These violations were all abated by July 22, 2003. The property has maintained active response to maintenance needs, with the roof being replaced in 1991 and various compliance updates performed over the years. Recent external matters primarily involve parking and traffic-related issues in the vicinity, as documented in multiple 311 calls between 2020 and 2024, though these are not directly related to the building's condition or management. The most recent building permits indicate ongoing attention to maintenance and compliance, with all major historical violations having been resolved.

Risk rating

How 875 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, 1912 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 62.3%
Moderate concern 27.0%
Severe concern 10.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
