Initial analysis

The property at 2130 22nd Street in Potrero Hill is a single-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1907, currently owned by the Cheung Johnny K W Revocable Trust. The building's documented history shows several significant events, with the most recent major work being a re-roofing project in January 2021 costing $7,800. This project was unfortunately accompanied by a building complaint regarding unauthorized work beyond the scope, including issues with debris management and sidewalk access, though this complaint was abated within a few days. Prior to the roof work, the property underwent various maintenance and improvement projects including a garage door replacement in 2013 (costing $1,485) and an earlier re-roofing in 2008 ($3,500). The building's past shows two notable milestones from the mid-1980s: an expired permit for a two-family dwelling construction in 1985, followed by a completed permit for house demolition in 1986, before the current structure was presumably built.

More recently, the property and its vicinity have experienced various urban challenges typical of the neighborhood, with multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding public space issues. These include reports of graffiti on poles (August and November 2024), sidewalk blockages (November 2024), encampments (September and October 2024), and a sewage discharge issue from a catch basin (August 2024) that was resolved by the Public Utilities Commission. While these external conditions don't directly reflect on the building's internal systems or management, they provide context about the surrounding environment and public space maintenance challenges in the immediate area.

Risk rating

How 2130 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
9th percentile

Out of 726 buildings in this neighborhood, 661 are predicted to be safer.
