Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 30-34 John Street in Nob Hill is a two-story flats and duplex structure constructed in 1935, currently owned by the Lee Julia S Revocable Trust-7/3. The building's documented history shows one significant maintenance project from September 2011, when permits were issued for waterproofing work, patching, and stucco repairs to the building's front facade, along with the installation of scaffolding for the project, with an estimated cost of $2,500.

The property has generated several municipal service calls over the past decade, none of which directly indicate building structural issues. The most recent call, made in December 2024, was related to recreation equipment under the jurisdiction of the RPD Park Service Area 1, and was successfully resolved. Between 2012 and 2015, there were multiple reports concerning street and sidewalk cleaning needs, specifically addressing loose garbage issues - with documented cases in January 2012, May 2013, August 2015, and November 2015, all of which were marked as completed or resolved, though some had limited documentation regarding resolution specifics. While these cleaning issues reflect neighborhood maintenance matters, they do not directly pertain to the building's condition or resident safety.

Risk rating

How 30-34 John 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
