Initial analysis

19 Ramona Avenue is a three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1912 and currently owned by Moore Trust. The property underwent significant structural improvements in recent years, including the completion of a mandatory seismic retrofit in 2013 (as a Tier 3 soft-story building), replacement of front vinyl windows with energy-efficient wooden sash double-hung windows that same year, and a complete roof replacement to a self-adhesive membrane in 2013. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly with water damage and exterior elements, as evidenced by multiple siding repairs in 2013-2014 to address dry rot, and a 2013 complaint regarding black mold/mildew that was subsequently resolved.

The property has undergone several routine safety and housing inspections, with notable violations in 2004 concerning fire safety and garage storage that were promptly addressed. Recent issues include a 2023 complaint regarding common areas that was resolved within a month, and there have been multiple instances of parking enforcement actions related to driveway blocking, particularly in 2022-2023. Infrastructure issues have persisted, with the most recent concerns including a sidewalk defect (2024) and flooding/sewer issues (2023), though these are currently being addressed or have been resolved. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of responding to violations and completing required repairs, though some issues, particularly those related to parking, continue to occur periodically.

Risk rating

How 19 Ramona 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.
