Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 24-34 Palm Ave, located in the Jordan Park/Laurel Heights neighborhood, was constructed in 1907 and contains 6 units. The property is currently owned by the Beverly C Sassus Revocable Trust and has undergone several significant maintenance and compliance events over the past few decades. Most notably, there was a concerning lead paint violation reported in February 2015, when tenants filed a complaint regarding cracked and peeling paint in multiple rooms, including concerns about lead exposure affecting a 10-month-old child - though this complaint is currently listed as not active. The building underwent a substantial reroofing project in December 2016, costing $26,500, which was completed successfully.

The property has experienced several infrastructure and environmental challenges in recent years, particularly related to exterior conditions. As of June 2023, there are multiple open issues regarding curb and sidewalk defects, including a collapsed sidewalk and tree root damage, though one tree-related complaint from April 2021 has been resolved. Historical building improvements include a significant "bring building to code" project completed in 1986, and there have been regular routine inspections by Housing Inspection Services in 2001 and 2008. While the building has faced various maintenance challenges, including overgrown tree roots damaging the sidewalk (noted in 2009), the most recent major concerns revolve around exterior accessibility issues, which emerged in mid-2023.

Risk rating

How 24-34 Palm Ave'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
21th percentile

Out of 272 buildings in this neighborhood, 215 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

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 63.9%
Moderate concern 20.2%
Severe concern 15.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
