Initial analysis

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 2969 23rd Street in the Inner Mission, owned by Stanley Ching, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1900. The most significant issue on record is an active complaint filed in May 2019 regarding an illegal basement dwelling unit that had allegedly been occupied by 5-6 individuals for approximately 20 years. This building code violation remains unresolved as of the latest information available.

The property has experienced multiple logistical challenges in recent years, with parking-related issues being particularly frequent. Between 2022 and 2024, there were at least five documented cases of driveway blocking incidents requiring parking enforcement intervention. Other notable events include a flooding incident in July 2023 involving street sewer issues (which was resolved), and several complaints regarding street conditions and maintenance, including an overgrown tree (April 2024) and reports of loose garbage (December 2023). Two parking-related complaints in early 2024 involved vehicles blocking driveways, though enforcement officers were unable to locate the vehicles in both instances. The building's recent history shows persistent external maintenance and parking challenges, with occasional public space concerns in the immediate vicinity, though many of these issues have been promptly addressed or resolved by city services.

Risk rating

How 2969 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.

Neighborhood percentile

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.

Neighborhood location

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

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 78.5%
Moderate concern 13.7%
Severe concern 7.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
