Initial analysis

The two-unit residential property at 225 Amazon Ave in the Excelsior neighborhood, owned by the Jian Zi Huang Revocable Trust, is a two-story flats and duplex building constructed in 1906. The building's maintenance history shows at least one significant repair from 1989 when stucco removal and wood member repairs were completed. The property has experienced numerous street-related issues in the past year, particularly between November 2024 and January 2025, including multiple reports of vehicles parking on sidewalks, with one citation issued in November 2024. There have been recurring issues with garbage and debris in the vicinity, with at least six reports between November 2024 and December 2024, involving various types of refuse including furniture and bagged garbage.

The building's recent history shows no recorded fire incidents or civilian injuries, and while there are records of two tenant buyout attempts at 761 Paris Street, these are unrelated to the current property. The most recent service call recorded by the fire department was categorized as a general service call with no specific details provided. The property's documented history suggests ongoing challenges with street maintenance and parking compliance in its immediate vicinity, though direct impacts on the building's internal conditions or safety features are not evidenced in the available data.

Risk rating

How 225 Amazon 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.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 337 buildings in this neighborhood, 71 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.

Neighborhood location

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

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

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

Building age

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 69.4%
Moderate concern 18.9%
Severe concern 11.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
