Initial analysis

The property at 3015-3017 Octavia Street in Cow Hollow is a multi-family residential building owned by Giuseppe & Maria Cannavo Re, with no specified stories or units on record. The building's maintenance and improvement history shows regular upkeep and modernization efforts, with the most recent work being a master bathroom remodel in September 2024 costing $25,000, currently in progress with associated plumbing and electrical work. The property has undergone several significant renovations over the past decades, including a horizontal addition in 1996, kitchen remodeling in 1996, reroofing in 2007, and more recent bathroom and kitchen updates between 2018-2019 totaling over $60,000 in improvements. Exterior maintenance has included siding repairs on the back and right sides in 2020.

The building's location has experienced typical urban neighborhood issues, as evidenced by multiple 311 complaints primarily related to parking enforcement, with several cases of driveway blocking between 2018-2025 resulting in citations. There have been a few incidents requiring attention to building exterior upkeep, including recent graffiti removal in May 2024 and general cleaning needs noted in December 2022. Two encampment-related incidents were reported near the property in 2023, both of which were resolved. The property appears to be generally well-maintained from a structural and systems perspective, with regular updates to key areas such as bathrooms and kitchens, though the concentration of parking-related issues suggests ongoing challenges in that regard.

Risk rating

How 3015-3017 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

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
99thpercentile

Out of 861 buildings in this neighborhood, 9 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Number of floors

Building height affects maintenance complexity and is one of the size signals the model uses.
