Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 348 Austin Street in Lower Pacific Heights is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1900 and currently owned by Gary H. Pang. The building's documented history shows minimal major structural work, with only two significant permits on record: a completed reroofing project in 2008 costing $5,500, and a street space-related permit from 2018 with a nominal cost of $1.00.

The property has recently experienced numerous street cleaning and sanitation incidents, particularly in late 2024, with multiple reports of garbage and debris requiring municipal intervention. These incidents included various types of waste such as yard waste, human waste, and other debris, though many of these cases were resolved without requiring additional work. The area has also faced challenges with urban cleanliness, evidenced by reports of needles, an encampment (July 2024), and instances of abandoned vehicles. Notably, several recent cleaning incidents were addressed promptly by city services, though one complaint regarding a bsm issue was determined to be a non-DPW matter. While these external environmental challenges are significant, they primarily relate to the surrounding neighborhood rather than the building's internal condition or operations, which remain largely undocumented in available records.

Risk rating

How 348 Austin 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
