Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 1799 22nd Avenue in the Central Sunset neighborhood, owned by the Fong Ruth Y Trust, was completed in 1988 and contains three units. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to roofing issues, with permits for reroofing work in 1996, 1999, 2017, and most recently in 2020 involving the installation of fiberglass and torch system materials. A significant cluster of violations was recorded in September 2001 during a routine housing inspection, including fire safety concerns such as combustible storage, fire extinguisher maintenance, and gas utility requirements, though these were all abated by November 2001. Two fire-related incidents are on record: an unintentional smoke detector activation and an overpressure rupture/other incident, both with no civilian injuries reported.

Recent concerns about the property have primarily revolved around waste management, with multiple reports of overflowing city garbage cans between January 3-13, 2025. In terms of tenant turnover, there was a documented buyout at the nearby address of 1771 22nd Avenue in May 2023 involving two tenants for $2,500. The building's history includes various commercial space modifications in the 1990s, including the installation of an awning and interior improvements such as mirrors and shampoo sinks. While the property has experienced some maintenance issues over the years, particularly in the early 2000s, most violations appear to have been promptly addressed.

Risk rating

How 1799 22Nd 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, 676 are predicted to be safer.
