Initial analysis

22 Flint Street is a two-unit, one-story multi-family residential building located in Corona Heights, constructed in 1957 and currently owned by Stephen James Bennett and Kam. The property has undergone significant improvements over the past few years, with major renovations taking place between 2021-2022, including the installation of a roof deck, conversion of entryway space, complete rewiring of both units, and comprehensive plumbing upgrades that included radiant heating systems and bathroom remodeling. In 2023, the building added 11 PV solar modules (4.785 DC kW system) and received electrical service upgrades to 400-amp. The property has maintained compliance with building codes, though there were several complaints in early 2022 from neighbors regarding potential structural concerns about the roof deck construction. These complaints were not marked as abated but appeared to relate to the ongoing construction period.

The building has undergone various infrastructure improvements, including siding replacement, heating system upgrades, and installation of modern amenities like ductless mini-split systems and a new fireplace. The plumbing system was substantially upgraded in 2022 to support separate unit amenities, including new gas, water, and drain systems. The property underwent tenant buyouts in 2020 and 2021, with payments of $80,000 and $35,000 respectively, suggesting substantial unit improvements were planned thereafter. Recent maintenance records show regular attention to building systems, including a 2023 electrical service upgrade and plumbing improvements. The surrounding area has experienced typical urban issues as evidenced by multiple parking enforcement calls between 2020-2024, though these are not directly related to the building's condition or maintenance.

Risk rating

How 22 Flint St'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.
