Augrented Insights

Initial analysis

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 2130-2132 19th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Parkside neighborhood is a two-story structure built in 1946, currently owned by Nick & Irene Motoviloff Fml. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, with the most substantial renovations occurring in 2005-2007. Unit 2132 received substantial updates in 2007, including new kitchen cabinets, flooring, sink, and window installations, along with electrical upgrades including the addition of new circuits, lighting, and receptacles. The building's infrastructure improvements included a complete roof replacement in 2007, garage door replacements in 2005, and the installation of a 200-amp electrical service upgrade in early 2005.

Recent maintenance records show primarily external and public area issues, with the most recent concern being a pavement defect reported in February 2023 that remains open as of October 2023. The property has experienced typical urban maintenance issues, including street cleaning and sidewalk maintenance matters. Two sidewalk defect reports from January 2018 were investigated but resulted in no action being required, while a streetlight flickering issue was resolved by PG&E in September 2016. The most recent building permit activity was a street space permit issued in August 2014, with a nominal cost of $1.00. The property's maintenance record suggests regular upkeep of both the building and surrounding public areas, with no recorded violations or safety concerns directly related to the building systems themselves since the major renovations of 2005-2007.

Risk rating

How 2130-2132 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

69th percentile

Out of 121 buildings in this neighborhood, 38 are predicted to be safer.
