Initial analysis

The 14-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 22 Gardenside Dr in Twin Peaks, owned by Tan Trust, was constructed in 1968 and has undergone several significant maintenance events over the years. Most recently, there is an active complaint filed in January 2024 regarding common areas that remains unresolved as of now. The building has a history of various housing code violations and maintenance issues, including a notable incident in 2003 concerning exterior decks that required correction, along with multiple routine inspections between 1994-2011 addressing various maintenance concerns. Specifically, there were ventilation issues in the laundry room in the 1990s (with multiple complaints about dryer exhaust problems), and a significant plumbing incident reported in July 1994 involving backups and problematic toilet fixtures that was resolved within three weeks.

From a fire safety perspective, there have been three relevant incidents: a cooking fire (contained, with no injuries), and two complaints in late 2021 regarding exit maintenance and alarm systems, though both were resolved by January 2022. The building has also had some infrastructure upgrades, including a $24,000 reroofing project in 2003. Recent activity around the property includes multiple abandoned furniture and electronics removal requests between 2022-2024, with the most recent service requests occurring in December 2024. A tree maintenance request from 2022 noted that pruning was scheduled for early 2023, and there were two reports of abandoned vehicles near the property between 2022-2024, though neither resulted in enforcement action.

Risk rating

How 22 Gardenside Dr'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 172 buildings in this neighborhood, 122 are predicted to be safer.
