Initial analysis

The property at 2326-2328 18th Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1927, currently owned by the Albert C Chang Living Trust 20. The building's maintenance history shows three roofing projects, with the most recent being a permitted $5,000 project in 2009, while an earlier 1998 roofing permit had expired. The property has experienced several sewer-related incidents in recent years, with three documented sewage back-up discharge events between 2022 and 2024, including incidents from a sewer vent and catch basin. The building has also faced recurring issues with parking violations, particularly regarding driveway blocking and sidewalk parking, with multiple citations issued between 2021 and 2024. Additional urban maintenance challenges have been noted, including illegal postings (2021) and general cleaning issues (2021), while a fire complaint regarding blocked exits in 2015 was investigated and found to have no merit.

The most significant recent concerns revolve around the building's plumbing infrastructure, with three sewage-related incidents reported between 2022 and 2024. Parking violations remain a recurring issue, with at least four documented cases of vehicles obstructing driveways or parking on sidewalks. While the roofing work from 2009 suggests at least some attention to building maintenance, the age of the permit and the relatively few building permits on record may warrant attention. The property is located in the Inner Parkside neighborhood and has experienced these various issues over more than a decade, with the most recent incidents concentrating in the past two years.

Risk rating

How 2326-2328 18Th 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
