Initial analysis

This two-story, two-unit multi-family residential building, located at 2812-2814 23rd Street in the Inner Mission, was built in 1890 and is currently owned by Robin Chiu. The property's recent history has been marked by several significant maintenance and compliance issues, most notably a cluster of building violations and complaints filed in March 2023 regarding lead paint, weather protection, and interior surface conditions, which were abated by March 2024. In 2011, there were multiple violations related to building security, fire safety, and interior maintenance that included issues with window repair, security viewers, lead paint concerns, window sash cords, fire extinguisher maintenance, and plumbing problems, all of which were addressed by September 2011. Historical records show various modifications to the building's structure and systems, including window replacements in 2021, heating system updates in 2011, and plumbing work in 2011, along with several permit applications in the 1990s related to unit legalization, bathroom modifications, and roofing work.

The building's maintenance history reveals ongoing concerns with basic systems and safety features, including a roof leak and heating issues documented in 1994-1995, and various maintenance and security upgrades over the years. Recent activity in 2023-2024 has shown attention to parking enforcement in the area, with multiple citations issued for driveway blocking and double parking, though these are external to the building's condition. The property has undergone some improvements, such as the 2021 window replacement project, which included upgrading from casement to double-hung windows with modern materials and energy performance standards. While many past violations have been resolved, the building has experienced recurring issues related to maintenance, safety compliance, and basic systems over its documented history.

Risk rating

How 2812-2814 23Rd 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.
