Initial analysis

The two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 3025-3027 Octavia Street in Cow Hollow, owned by Edmund & Marie A O'Brien, was constructed in 1932 and has undergone several notable improvements over the years. The most recent building maintenance record shows a reroofing project completed in 2001 at a cost of $3,520, though this permit has since expired. Earlier renovations from the late 1980s included the installation of aluminum siding to the rear and side walls in October 1987, as well as vinyl siding application to the sides of the building in September 1987. The kitchen was remodeled during this period, with work completed in June 1989 involving new cabinets, tile counters, and re-sheetrocking.

The building has undergone two routine housing inspections by the Housing Inspection Services division, one in 2002 and another in 2007, with both cases being promptly abated within approximately two weeks. More recent activity around the property has primarily involved street-level issues, including multiple reports of encampments in 2024 near the property address, which were either resolved or unable to locate. There have been occasional parking issues, such as a driveway blocking incident reported in January 2025, and some street cleaning matters recorded through 311 calls in 2020 and 2021, though these were all resolved. Additionally, there were two excessive noise complaints filed on August 24, 2019, which were accepted by the Noise Report Queue.

Risk rating

How 3025-3027 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

Out of 861 buildings in this neighborhood, 155 are predicted to be safer.
