Initial analysis

The 3-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 530-532 Edna Street in Sunnyside, built in 1947 and currently owned by the Cindy Xin Fang Chen Revocable Trust, has undergone several significant renovations and faced various maintenance challenges over the years. Most recently, in October 2024, the building received a new roof at a cost of $16,000, with permits showing proper completion of this work. The property has seen substantial interior improvements, including a significant kitchen and bathroom remodel in 2004-2005 (totaling $30,000) which included electrical upgrades comprising new lights, switches, receptacles, and circuits. More recent infrastructure concerns include ongoing issues with tree root damage to sidewalks, with reports filed in July and October 2024. The building's exterior and access areas have faced maintenance challenges, with reports of sidewalk defects and property damage due to tree maintenance issues, though some of these were addressed under the city's block pruning plan.

The property has experienced various community issues typical for the area, including recent noise complaints, public works requests, and multiple reports of sidewalk defects, some of which remain unresolved as of late 2024. Historical records show efforts to upgrade the building's windows and decking in the 1990s, though some of these permits expired without completion. A kitchen and bathroom renovation project from 2004-2005 included extensive electrical work, while a gas line extension was completed in 2013. The building's maintenance history indicates regular updates and repairs, with the most recent roof replacement suggesting ongoing care for the property's structural integrity. A fire complaint from 2006 was investigated but found to have no merit.

Risk rating

How 530-532 Edna 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.
