Initial analysis

The property at 2150-2152 19th Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Parkside neighborhood. Built in 1946 and owned by Fong Ross K, this flats and duplex structure has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance work over its lifetime. The most substantial recent improvement was completed in 2012, addressing dry rot issues in an existing deck, which cost $3,000. In late 2017, the building underwent both street space work and plumbing improvements including a trenchless cleanout installation. Earlier renovations in 2000-2001 included a major ground floor remodel that added a bedroom, family room, and full bath, along with subsequent revisions to the original plans.

The building has experienced recurring sewer-related issues between 2017 and 2022, with multiple service requests through PUC Sewer Operations showing a pattern of maintenance needs in this area. While all reported sewer issues have been resolved according to records, this pattern may warrant attention. Other notable incidents include two recent reports of double parking in 2024, though these are external to the building itself, and various street-related matters such as a pavement defect reported in 2018. The property's permit and service call history suggests regular maintenance attention to both building improvements and infrastructure needs, with no recorded violations or safety concerns directly impacting resident safety or building integrity. The most recent building work appears to be limited to street-related matters, with no major structural or system improvements noted in recent years.

Risk rating

How 2150-2152 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
