Initial analysis

The 4-unit multi-family residential building at 225 Onondaga Ave in Mission Terrace, owned by Guan Jiehua, has a history dating back to its 1955 construction. Most recently, a reroofing project was permitted in October 2024 with an estimated cost of $11,950. The building underwent several significant improvements in the early 2000s, including a window replacement project in 2003 costing $6,950, and faced various housing code compliance issues that required attention. Between 2001 and 2008, there were multiple violations involving safety and maintenance concerns, including problems with fire safety equipment (fire escape ladders, extinguishers, and fire proofing), security features (self-closing exterior doors), and gas meter requirements, though all these violations were ultimately abated.

The building experienced some notable health and maintenance issues in 2002, including a complaint about mold presence in multiple units and concerns regarding unfinished interior work and debris. Earlier routine inspections from 1996 through 1999 identified various maintenance issues, and a significant building code compliance effort was documented in 1986. The property has generated several 311 calls in recent years mostly related to street and sidewalk maintenance, parking violations, and a tree damage complaint in 2019. Fire incident records show only three occurrences, all related to malfunctioning alarm systems or false calls, with no civilian injuries reported. The building's maintenance history suggests regular oversight and response to code compliance requirements, with all identified violations having been resolved through appropriate actions.

Risk rating

How 225 Onondaga 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
41th percentile

Out of 149 buildings in this neighborhood, 88 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

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.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 32.5%
Moderate concern 20.3%
Severe concern 47.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
