Initial analysis

The property at 870-872 27th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1930, currently owned by the Schulz-eisenhauer Revoc Tr. The building's maintenance history shows several significant improvements, including the installation of aluminum windows in 1986 and a new common area meter for the garage and alleyway in 2010, which was needed for the property's electrical infrastructure. A notable compliance action was completed in 1984 to bring the building into full compliance with applicable provisions, though the specific nature of these requirements is not detailed in the records. There was one routine housing inspection complaint filed in 2002, which was resolved within three weeks.

The property has experienced multiple parking-related incidents in recent years, with several enforcement actions taken between 2020 and 2023, particularly during a cluster of parking violations in September 2020 involving vehicles blocking driveways. A sewage backup incident was reported and resolved in March 2021, which represents the only infrastructure-related service call in recent history. While there have been several parking enforcement requests in 2023, including both sidewalk parking and other illegal parking incidents, these are primarily external enforcement matters rather than building-specific issues. The most recent service calls have all been resolved through appropriate enforcement or inspection actions, suggesting that while there have been persistent parking challenges in the area, there are no ongoing building-specific maintenance or safety concerns evident in the available records.

Risk rating

How 870-872 27Th 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
