Initial analysis

The 3-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 136-138 Pixley St in Cow Hollow, owned by Levenson Fmly Lvg Tr, was constructed in 2013 and is classified as a Flats & Duplex building. The building's construction included a plumbing permit for additional final inspection work, which was completed in July 2013. However, in October 2014, the property was cited for not complying with San Francisco's mandatory Soft Story Retrofit Program, which is designed to improve earthquake safety. This violation included a monthly violation monitoring fee and a requirement to not remove an "Earthquake Warning" placard. A separate building complaint from July 2013 noted unauthorized alterations, specifically the installation of a roof deck not included in the original plans, which had depicted a utility room instead.

The property has experienced persistent issues with driveway blocking, with multiple incidents reported between 2021 and 2024, most recently in September 2024. At least five of these incidents resulted in vehicle citations, with one case in December 2021 resulting in a tow. Additional concerns have included street cleaning issues, with reports of garbage and debris (including a mattress) in August 2024. A September 2021 complaint regarding an environmental health issue involving bugs was resolved with city officials stating they do not provide spraying services and that fly traps had been effective. While the building's construction violations appear to have been addressed and are no longer active, the persistent parking enforcement issues suggest an ongoing challenge with driveway access.

Risk rating

How 136-138 Pixley 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, 121 are predicted to be safer.
