Initial analysis

The 15-unit apartment building at 3555 Broderick St in the Marina neighborhood is a three-story multi-family residential structure built in 1927, currently owned by HTK Irving Place LLC. This property has undergone several significant structural and safety improvements over the past decades, most notably completing a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2014 at a cost of $75,000, which included the installation of shear walls and a strong steel frame on the first story. Historical seismic safety upgrades include the installation of anchor bolts on all bearing walls and plywood sheathing in 1990. The building has faced recurring fire safety issues, with multiple violations documented between 2000 and 2017 related to fire extinguishers, smoke enclosure doors, directional signs, combustible storage, and fire escape maintenance. More recent concerns include a 2020 complaint regarding unauthorized kitchen remodeling in Unit 202, with allegations of hazardous wiring and unpermitted plumbing work, though this was subsequently resolved by January 2023.

The property has maintained regular upkeep in various areas, including a roof replacement recorded in 1997 (though this permit has since expired) and recent kitchen remodeling work in Unit 202 completed in 2020 at a cost of $25,000. Fire safety appears to be an ongoing focus, with the most recent fire extinguisher violation reported and corrected in early 2024, following similar issues in 2022 and 2023. The building's management has addressed most documented violations, with the exception of a 2017 fire escape issue that was referred to the Department of Building Inspection. Recent maintenance history shows attention to compliance with safety requirements, though the building has maintained a pattern of recurring fire safety violations over multiple years. The surrounding area has generated multiple 311 calls in recent years, primarily related to parking enforcement and street cleaning issues, though these are external to the building's operations.

Risk rating

How 3555 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
