Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 22-24 Woodward Street in the Inner Mission, owned by Daniel M. Chao, has experienced a range of incidents over the past two years that warrant attention. Most recently, in November 2024, there was an encampment situation that required clearance from Healthy Streets Operation Center, though this was successfully resolved. The building has faced recurring parking enforcement issues, particularly with a brown Acura vehicle (license plate 8VSC720), which was documented for blocking driveways and parking on the sidewalk between January and March 2023, with at least one citation issued. Safety concerns included the discovery of medical waste (needles) on the street or sidewalk in June 2023, which was resolved through Department of Public Works intervention.

The property has also experienced some quality-of-life issues in the surrounding area, including a graffiti incident on a city receptacle (reported October 2023) and various service requests to the Healthy Streets Operation Center. While these incidents reflect some neighborhood challenges, it's notable that there were no reported residential units' structural or internal issues, and the documented fire incident (743 smoke detector activation) resulted in no injuries or actual fire damage. The building's age (constructed in 1912) and two-story flats/duplex configuration fit typical San Francisco architectural patterns for the Inner Mission neighborhood.

Risk rating

How 22-24 Woodward 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.
