Initial analysis

The two-family residential building at 624 Randolph Street in Ingleside Heights, owned by William L. Malone, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1946. Most notably, in May 2024, both units received substantial renovations including kitchen and bathroom updates, with associated plumbing and electrical work completed at a cost of $100,000. The building's infrastructure was previously upgraded in 2004 with a 150-amp electrical service upgrade to accommodate PG&E conversion, and in 2012 it underwent reroofing work.

The property has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over the years, with the most recent concerns emerging in 2023 regarding rubbish and debris, including reports of items attracting vermin. These followed a pattern of sanitation issues, including rodent infestations and fire safety concerns (such as combustible materials in the garage and egress obstructions) that were all addressed and abated by October 2021. Historical records indicate past concerns about unauthorized units, with complaints in 1994 and 2000 regarding illegal units in the garage, though these were resolved. The building's location has experienced recurring parking enforcement issues in 2023-2024, with multiple reports of driveway blockages and sidewalk parking violations, though these are external to the building's structural and maintenance history. A minor fire safety concern regarding exit maintenance was filed in December 2022 but was determined to have no merit.

Risk rating

How 624 Randolph 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
