Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1942 19th Avenue in the Inner Parkside neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure owned by Anne & Alice Tang, constructed in 1945. The building's maintenance history includes a street space permit issued in 2019 (with a nominal cost of $1.00) and an earlier street space permit from 2006, while a reroofing project from 1996 is noted as expired with no recorded completion. The property has experienced minimal infrastructure-related issues over the past decade, with only one significant incident involving a sewage backup through a 4-inch vent in January 2012, which was subsequently addressed by PUC Sewer Operations.

More recent activity around the property has primarily involved street-related matters, with several service requests documented in 2023 and 2024. These include two instances of loose garbage on the street/sidewalk in January 2023 (one of which was resolved with no issues found), a general service request to SFMTA Parking Enforcement in March 2023, and a driveway blocking incident in July 2024 that resulted in a parking citation. The building's record shows regular street activity typical of urban residential areas, but no major building-specific complaints or violations in recent years, with the most significant documented issue (the 2012 sewer backup) occurring over a decade ago.

Risk rating

How 1942 19Th 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 121 buildings in this neighborhood, 28 are predicted to be safer.
