Initial analysis

The 8-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 2595 43rd Avenue in the Outer Parkside neighborhood, built in 1958 and owned by Wong Taklam S & La Vivian N, has undergone several significant maintenance and safety improvements in recent years. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2022 at a cost of $90,000 to comply with seismic safety requirements. Recent resident concerns include ongoing heating issues reported in March 2023, where one tenant experienced inconsistent heating leading to cold overnight temperatures. The building has undergone various unit improvements, including kitchen and bathroom remodels in 2018 (Unit 3), maintenance work in response to building violations, and repairs for water damage and dry rot issues in 2022-2023.

The property has experienced multiple regulatory interventions, with several building violations and complaints since 2001. These include security and fire safety violations in 2001 that were addressed by October of the same year, and more recent compliance issues in 2022 regarding unauthorized modifications that were subsequently legalized. The building has also had several fire safety concerns, with blocked exits and extinguisher issues noted in 2022, though these were promptly corrected. Approximately $184,000 in permits for various repairs and improvements have been issued in recent years, including kitchen window replacements, plumbing updates, and electrical work to comply with code requirements. The property has shown general responsiveness to maintenance issues, though some tenant complaints regarding timely repairs and heating systems persist as a notable concern.

Risk rating

How 2595 43Rd 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
