Initial analysis

The property at 2810-2816 22nd Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood is a 2-story, 4-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by the Lao Family Trust. The building underwent significant improvements in recent years, most notably the legalization of an unauthorized basement unit in 2019, which included the installation of new bathrooms, kitchen facilities, furnace, water heater, and sewer lines, with a total cost of approximately $98,000. Fire safety upgrades were also implemented, including the installation of a comprehensive fire sprinkler system and monitoring equipment between 2020 and 2021, with associated costs of over $22,000.

The building has experienced regular maintenance and safety inspections, with historical issues addressed promptly. There were routine housing inspections in 2000, 2002, and 2010 that were resolved. Recent improvements include a 2024 replacement of the electrical panel in the hallway, and the building has maintained active responses to any issues, such as graffiti removal in 2021 and various parking enforcement matters, though these are external to the building's condition. Historical records show some infrastructure work dating back to 1993 (regarding a garage wall partition) and 2000 (stairway landing repair), but the majority of recent work has focused on unit legalization and safety systems modernization. The building's permit history demonstrates active management and compliance with city regulations, particularly through the Unit Legalization process under Ordinance 43-14 which significantly improved the building's amenities and safety features.

Risk rating

How 2810-2816 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
38th percentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 1476 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 37.7%
Moderate concern 35.7%
Severe concern 26.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
