Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 3212 Octavia Street in San Francisco's Marina neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1924, currently owned by Robert Paganelli and Annette. The building's maintenance record shows minimal major work, with only two significant permits on file: a street space-related permit from 2018 and a completed reroofing project from 1997. The property has experienced a notable pattern of parking-related issues over recent years, with multiple incidents between 2017 and 2024, including three cases of abandoned vehicles (with one resulting in a tow), illegal parking, and a driveway blocking incident in March 2024 that resulted in a citation.

The building's environmental impact history shows only one recorded fire incident, which was a contained cooking fire that resulted in no civilian injuries. While there have been several reports of street cleaning needs and abandoned vehicle issues in the surrounding area, these appear to be more related to the public space rather than the building itself. The property's permit and incident history suggests generally routine maintenance, with no recorded safety violations or significant complaints directly related to the building's structure or systems.

Risk rating

How 3212 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
59th percentile

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 405 are predicted to be safer.
