Initial analysis

The three-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 3225 Octavia Street in the Marina district, owned by Rodney & Marian S Owyang Re, was constructed in 1924 and has undergone several significant maintenance and safety updates over the years. Most recently, in November 2023, a reroofing project valued at $21,800 was issued, following a previous reroofing work completed in 2001 costing $8,500. The building has a documented history of addressing safety compliance issues, particularly in 2002 when violations were recorded for missing smoke detectors in the lobby and stairwell, as well as required self-closing devices on exterior doors - all of which were abated by June 2007. Additionally, during this period, the building underwent electrical system upgrades and kitchen improvements in 1992, including wiring code compliance work and kitchen sink/cabinet replacement.

The property has experienced recurring issues with parking enforcement, particularly with vehicles blocking driveways, as evidenced by multiple parking enforcement calls between 2021 and 2024, resulting in several citations being issued. A single fire-related incident was recorded, noting a smoke scare with no civilian injuries. Two routine housing inspections in 1996, 2002, and 2007 have been completed, with all identified issues being resolved. The building's maintenance history shows consistent attention to both routine upkeep and addressing safety concerns, with no active violations currently on record.

Risk rating

How 3225 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.
