Initial analysis

The three-story, five-unit multi-family residential building at 33-35 Edith Street in Telegraph Hill, built in 1915, has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past decades. Most recently, in 2019, the building received a $12,000 reroofing project involving the application of modified bitumen roofing on the existing flat roof, which was not visible from the street. Prior to this, in 2011, there was an incident involving unauthorized window replacements in Unit #3, which resulted in a violation notice that was abated within three months - the windows were subsequently installed with proper permits at a cost of $5,000, featuring energy-efficient Marvin wood aluminum clad units with a u-factor of 0.40 max. The building's maintenance history shows attention to essential systems, including street space permits issued in 2014 and 2011, and a completed building code compliance project from 1983.

The property has had relatively few serious issues over the past 23 years, with five routine housing inspections conducted between 2000 and 2005 showing no significant problems. Recent building-specific concerns have been minimal, with most service requests relating to street-level issues such as sidewalk repairs (2015), garbage collection noise (2020), and cleaning needs (2019). Infrastructure issues have largely been addressed promptly, including a sewer vent repair in 2014 and a hazardous materials incident in 2020 that was resolved. The building's management has maintained compliance with housing regulations, with only two notable complaints on record, both having been resolved within reasonable time frames. The property appears to be actively maintained, with regular updates to essential systems and prompt attention to any violations or complaints that have arisen.

Risk rating

How 33-35 Edith 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

Out of 684 buildings in this neighborhood, 445 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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 54.5%
Moderate concern 21.2%
Severe concern 24.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
