Initial analysis

The 17-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 2275 19th Avenue in the Parkside neighborhood, constructed in 1927, has undergone several significant improvements and faced multiple compliance issues over recent years. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 with a cost of $150,000, achieving Tier 2 compliance status and receiving a CFC (Certificate of Final Completion). The building has experienced recurring fire safety concerns, with active violations as of late 2023-2024 related to sleeping area requirements and fire extinguisher maintenance. A pattern of fire safety compliance issues is evident, with multiple violations for alarm systems and extinguishers recorded between 2011 and 2024, though most have been corrected.

Residents have reported various maintenance and safety concerns, including a 2014-2015 mold problem in bathroom and dining room ceilings, several heating system outages (with no heat reported for extended periods in 2011), and plumbing issues. The building has seen substantial infrastructure improvements, including a 400-amp electrical service upgrade in 2014, bathroom and kitchen remodels in Unit 6 (2014), and boiler system updates. A routine inspection in 2018 revealed multiple outstanding issues that remain active, including problems with smoke enclosure doors, fire escape ladders, and various required safety certifications. Recent maintenance history shows attention to structural and safety requirements, though some violations remain open while others have been marked as abated.

Risk rating

How 2275 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 255 buildings in this neighborhood, 252 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 17.8%
Moderate concern 63.6%
Severe concern 18.5%
