Initial analysis

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 822-824 30th Avenue in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by Anthony M & Susan A Wong, has undergone substantial renovation work throughout 2024. Current permits show ongoing exterior maintenance with $45,000 dedicated to repairing exterior stairs and replacing the rear foundation, as well as comprehensive unit renovations costing over $260,000 that include kitchen and bathroom remodels, laundry installations, and new gas furnaces for multiple units. However, there are active complaints filed in May 2024 regarding unauthorized work, including complete unit demolitions beyond the permitted scope, and later complaints in October 2024 concerning unpermitted plumbing work related to sidewalk and sewer pipe installations.

The building's history includes a significant earthquake damage incident in 1990, and notable violations in 2002 regarding fire safety concerns including fire proofing, combustible storage, and gas utility shutoff tools, though these were all resolved by July 2002. Recent infrastructure improvements include new water lines being installed in September 2024. While the building has experienced recurring issues with parking violations on adjacent streets, these are not directly related to the building's condition or maintenance. The property is currently under active building inspection scrutiny with open complaints regarding permit compliance, suggesting ongoing monitoring of renovation activities.

Risk rating

How 822-824 30Th 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.
