Initial analysis

The 8-unit multi-family residential building at 36 Cervantes Blvd in the Marina neighborhood, owned by Richard M & Randa M Dudum 1, has undergone significant improvements since its construction in 1927. Recent renovations include comprehensive upgrades to multiple units, with Units 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8 receiving kitchen and bathroom remodels between 2020-2022, featuring modern appliances and electrical systems. The building has maintained its safety infrastructure through several important upgrades, including a seismic retrofit in 2010 addressing soft-story concerns, a voluntary fire alarm system installation in 2018, and a boiler replacement in 2022. Historical maintenance records show earlier violations in 2003-2006 related to heating, plumbing, and fire safety systems, though these were all resolved and abated, with proper permits obtained for the boiler operation.

The property has demonstrated consistent upkeep through various improvement projects, including reroofing in 2003 and electrical panel upgrades in 2013. More recently, there have been multiple parking enforcement issues, with ten documented cases of driveway blocking between 2022-2023, resulting in several citations being issued. While these parking incidents indicate some enforcement challenges in the immediate area, they represent external factors rather than building-specific issues. The building's documented permit history shows regular maintenance and upgrading of individual units and common systems, with no active violations or unresolved complaints on record as of October 2023.

Risk rating

How 36 Cervantes Blvd'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.
