AI summary

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 3043-3045 Octavia Street in Cow Hollow, owned by the Yu/Wong Family Trust, is a two-story flat and store structure built in 1906. The building's maintenance record shows one significant improvement in recent history, with a reroofing project completed in 2012 at a cost of $4,500. More recent events from late 2023 through 2025 reveal several maintenance and neighborhood issues affecting the property and surrounding area. There are currently three open cases that warrant attention: excessive noise reported in June 2024, tree root damage to sidewalk reported in December 2023, and recent graffiti incidents in December 2024 and January 2025. The building and its surroundings have experienced recurring issues with graffiti, with multiple incidents reported between 2024-2025, though some have been resolved by city services. Street maintenance concerns have been documented through 311 calls, including reports of garbage and debris (both from city receptacles and other sources) and a pavement defect, all of which have been resolved. While the building has maintained basic structural improvements through past reroofing work, the recent pattern of graffiti and exterior maintenance issues suggests ongoing challenges with property upkeep in the immediate vicinity.

Risk rating

How 3043-3045 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.
