Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 1322 Thomas Ave in Bayview, currently owned by Criswell Exemption Equivale, was constructed in 1920 and has undergone several significant improvements in recent years. Most notably, in 2023, the building received a substantial exterior upgrade with a $30,000 siding replacement project including waterproofing, and an electrical upgrade that included a 200-amp main service meter installation and replacement of knob-and-tube wiring. The building's historical permits show a completed reroofing project from 1991.

The property has recently experienced several challenges related to exterior maintenance and cleanliness. In January 2025 alone, there were multiple 311 calls reporting various issues including multiple instances of garbage and debris accumulation, some involving bagged items and furniture, which were subsequently resolved. There were also reports of peeling paint, sidewalk parking violations, and an abandoned vehicle complaint, all of which were addressed by city agencies. While there is no record of serious fire incidents at this address, there were multiple fire safety violations recorded at nearby locations in 2018-2020, including issues with fire extinguisher servicing, exit path obstructions, and other safety concerns, though all were marked as abated. The building's recent electrical upgrade and siding improvements suggest ongoing maintenance and modernization efforts are being prioritized by the ownership.

Risk rating

How 1322 Thomas Ave'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.
