Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 3800 22nd Street, owned by Helen Kong Tr, is a 7-unit structure built in 1907 located in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood. The property has undergone significant upgrades and maintenance in recent years, most notably completing a soft-story retrofit (assigned to Tier 4) in 2020-2021, which included both residential and commercial components, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements. In 2021, the building underwent major improvements including the conversion of a former laundromat space into a daycare center (with associated fire alarm system upgrades), kitchen and bathroom remodels in unit B, and various fire safety enhancements. The building's maintenance history shows prompt attention to violations, with previous issues regarding fire escape ladders and fire extinguishers in 2002 and 2007 being resolved. Recent inspections and violations are not active, indicating compliance with building codes. The property has experienced several service calls in 2023-2024, primarily related to street cleanliness, signage, and parking issues, but these are external to the building itself. Historical fire complaints and incidents were typically minor, involving malfunctioning smoke detectors and assistance calls, with no civilian injuries recorded. The building's infrastructure improvements, including plumbing and electrical upgrades during recent renovations, suggest ongoing maintenance and modernization efforts by the ownership.

Risk rating

How 3800 22Nd 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.

Neighborhood percentile
