Initial analysis

The property at 3436-3438 Divisadero Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Marina neighborhood, constructed in 1924 and currently owned by the Higbie Family Trust. The building has undergone several significant improvements and modifications over the past two decades, with the most recent major work being a condo conversion completed in 2023 and compliance work following physical inspection report CC-8559 in early 2023 that addressed electrical grounding/bonding and lighting issues. Between 2013 and 2014, a substantial renovation was performed including kitchen and bathroom remodeling, window replacements, and the installation of new furnaces and ductwork, with some of this work receiving final inspection approval in 2019.

The building's maintenance history shows regular updates to essential systems, including three gas water heater replacements between 2018-2020 and various plumbing and electrical improvements. Multiple permits have been issued for window replacements, including a 2019 project to replace 8 street-facing windows from aluminum clad to wood, and earlier work in 2007 for window and door replacements. The property has experienced recurring issues with driveway blockages, particularly in 2020-2024, though these are mostly related to street parking violations rather than building-specific problems. A recent concern regarding tree roots damaging the sidewalk (reported January 2024) is currently under review by the Department of Public Works. The building's code compliance history appears to be generally satisfactory, with most recent violations being promptly addressed through proper permits and inspections.

Risk rating

How 3436-3438 Divisadero 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, 375 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

Neighborhood location

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 83.5%
Moderate concern 13.0%
Severe concern 3.6%
