Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1250-1252 24th Avenue in the Central Sunset neighborhood, owned by the Frank Y Chow Family LLC, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1922. The building's maintenance history shows significant work was undertaken in 2003 with an $8,840 reroofing project, and records indicate dryrot repairs were needed in 1985, though these permits have since expired. A notable building complaint was filed in April 2007 regarding illegal scaffolding installation that obstructed views and extended 30 feet above a fence, though this issue was resolved within ten days.

More recently, there has been a persistent pattern of parking enforcement issues around the property, particularly in 2024, with multiple citations issued for vehicles blocking driveways. Between June 2024 and April 2024 alone, there were at least seven documented instances of driveway blocking, with six resulting in citations being issued, though some cases were unable to be located or marked as invalid due to incomplete reporting information. The most frequently reported vehicle was a grey BMW X3 with license plate 8NYY724, which appeared in multiple violation reports. Earlier incidents dating back to 2018 also show similar parking enforcement issues, including one case involving a maroon Hyundai where enforcement was unable to locate the offending vehicle.

Risk rating

How 1250-1252 24Th 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 814 buildings in this neighborhood, 448 are predicted to be safer.
