Initial analysis

The three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 3333 Octavia Street in the Marina neighborhood, owned by Merigan Family I L P, has undergone significant improvements since its construction in 1926. The building has successfully completed its mandatory seismic retrofit as a Tier 3 soft-story building, demonstrating compliance with safety requirements. Recent improvements include a substantial $30,400 fire alarm system upgrade completed in 2023 to meet updated fire code requirements, with additional electrical modifications currently in process to improve fire safety features throughout the building. The property has seen consistent unit improvements over the years, with all units receiving modernizations including kitchen and bathroom renovations, window replacements, and various plumbing and electrical upgrades between 2002 and 2016, showcasing regular maintenance and modernization efforts by the ownership.

The building's maintenance record shows attention to critical systems, including the installation of a new 75-gallon water heater in 2014 and a cast iron steam heating boiler in 2008. While the property has experienced some issues with medical waste and sidewalk cleanliness in the surrounding area between 2017 and 2024, these incidents were mostly resolved through appropriate city services. Two fire alarm-related complaints (2018 and 2006) were promptly addressed, and there have been no significant fire incidents reported. The building has undergone routine housing inspections in 1996, 2000, and 2007, with all issues being resolved. A 2018 complaint regarding after-hours noise and washer/dryer access related to an interior decorator operation was closed as abated. Overall, the building's permit history and regular maintenance schedule suggest active management and investment in maintaining and upgrading the property to current safety and comfort standards.

Risk rating

How 3333 Octavia 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
