Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 3019 Octavia Street in Cow Hollow, owned by Peter A & Kathy A Cimarelli, was constructed in 1923 and is classified as a two-story flats and duplex structure. The building's maintenance record shows several significant updates, including a completed reroofing project in 1993 and stair repairs in 1994, with a street space permit issued in 2013 for a nominal cost of $1.00.

Of particular note is a recent and concerning pattern of parking issues near the property, with eight citations issued between September and October 2024 for driveway blocking violations, four of which resulted in citations being issued, while two incidents resulted in officers being unable to locate the offending vehicle. The frequency of these incidents suggests ongoing challenges with parking enforcement in the immediate vicinity, though it is important to note that these incidents relate to street parking rather than issues with the building itself. The building's permit history indicates regular maintenance and attention to structural elements, which is typical for a building of its age, though no recent permits for major renovations or repairs have been recorded in the past decade.

Risk rating

How 3019 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
