Initial analysis

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 3184-3188 Washington Street in Pacific Heights, owned by Stephen R & Gabriella Z Pap, has a notable history of renovations and maintenance, dating back to its 1904 construction. The most significant recent work occurred between 2005-2007, involving substantial improvements including a $60,000 kitchen renovation in units 3184 and 3186 that featured wall removal and new appliances. The building underwent complete rewiring in 2005, with installation of approximately 70 lights, switches, and receptacles, followed by the installation of a garage door opener in 2006. An important safety event was a fire incident in early 2005 that resulted in red-tagging of the electrical service and required a reconstruction project, though no civilian injuries were reported.

The building has undergone regular safety inspections, with the most recent routine inspection recorded in 2013 by Housing Inspection Services. Recent activity (2024-2025) in the surrounding area has included multiple tree maintenance requests and various street-related issues, though these are external to the building itself. The property has experienced multiple false alarm incidents, primarily involving malfunctioning alarm systems and smoke detectors, which while concerning, have not resulted in actual fire or safety incidents. Recent 311 calls have primarily involved street cleaning and parking enforcement matters. The building's permit and inspection history suggests ongoing maintenance and upgrading of systems, with particular attention to electrical infrastructure following the 2005 fire incident.

Risk rating

How 3184-3188 Washington 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
71th percentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 279 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 71.8%
Moderate concern 16.1%
Severe concern 12.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
