Initial analysis

The two-story multi-family residential building at 22 Ceres Street in the Bayview neighborhood, owned by Wu Zhuo Hua, was constructed in 1917 and is classified as a flats & duplex residence, though the official records show no registered units. The building's permit history shows minimal activity, with only one documented permit for reroofing work completed in 1989. A notable incident occurred in January 2011 when a complaint was filed regarding an unpermitted 10' x 20' storage structure that was allegedly being used for habitation, though this complaint was abated by January 28 of the same year.

The most pressing current issues relate to recent parking and sanitation concerns in the immediate vicinity of the property. During January 2025, there were multiple reports (seven in total) of illegal parking, including vehicles parked on sidewalks and blocked parking spaces, though enforcement officers were often unable to locate the reported vehicles. There were also two incidents of garbage and debris complaints in the same month, though these were resolved promptly. While these recent exterior maintenance and parking issues are of concern, it's worth noting that these incidents occurred primarily in the public street areas around the building rather than within the property itself, and the building's validated permit history shows no concerning patterns of structural or safety issues.

Risk rating

How 22 Ceres 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
