Initial analysis

3636 Broderick Street is a three-story, 12-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Marina neighborhood, owned by the Michael & Angele Rice Trust and constructed in 1928. The building has undergone several significant renovations and faced multiple maintenance challenges over the years. Most notably, in late 2021 and throughout 2022, the property experienced water damage from a roof leak that affected multiple units (1, 2, 5, 6, 9, 10) and the lobby, leading to extensive repair work totaling over $260,000. These repairs included insulation and drywall replacement, flooring work, plumbing fixture reinstallations, and electrical system upgrades with new AFCI protection. The building faced several fire safety compliance issues, with documented violations in 2023 and 2006 related to fire extinguishers, egress obstructions, fire escape maintenance, and security requirements, though most of these violations were abated, with the exception of the March 2023 extinguisher service requirement which was noted as corrected. The property has undergone significant window improvements, including the replacement of 102 windows between 2011-2013 with energy-efficient models. Historical records show various maintenance activities including roof work in 1994, earthquake repairs in 1989, and earlier modifications in the late 1980s. Recent 311 calls indicate occasional parking enforcement issues, though these appear to be minor compared to the building's other documented challenges.

Risk rating

How 3636 Broderick 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 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 860 are predicted to be safer.
