Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 886-888 33rd Avenue in the Outer Richmond neighborhood is a 2-story flats and duplex structure built in 1923, currently owned by the Kuang/Huang Family Trust. The property has undergone several significant modifications and faced multiple regulatory issues over the years. Most recently, in October 2024, the building suffered structural damage when a car collided with the front left side, displacing a post under the garage door header and damaging the garage door and security gate, though utilities remained undamaged and the building was deemed safe for occupancy. The property has a documented history of unauthorized modifications, including a major violation in 2007 when the ground floor was found to have been converted into an unpermitted dwelling unit, leading to numerous safety concerns such as unapproved wiring, plumbing, lack of smoke detectors, and inadequate egress. This violation was addressed through a permit in 2007 to revert the space back to its original use, removing unauthorized kitchen and bathroom facilities. The building has also seen improvements including solar panel installations in 2015 (with two permits totaling 4.0 kW capacity), a kitchen and bathroom remodel in 2002, and the construction of a storage room and half bath in the basement in 1994. Historical maintenance issues include documented water leaks and humidity problems from 2007, though these were resolved by 2010. The property's permit history shows both completion of required repairs and periodic compliance issues, with the most recent active concern being the 2024 car impact incident.

Risk rating

How 886-888 33Rd 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.
