Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 34 Iris Avenue, owned by the Newman Family Living Trust, is a two-story flats and duplex structure constructed in 1948 in the Jordan Park/Laurel Heights neighborhood. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past decade. Most notably, in 2016, substantial work was performed including the removal and replacement of staircase terrazzo, addressing dry rot issues, and re-stuccoing the front side entrance at a cost of $71,000, along with a leaking investigation that involved partial stucco removal and repairs. The electrical system has seen two important upgrades, with a complete 200-amp service change in 2012 and replacement of outdoor lighting and installation of fluorescent lamps in 2017. Additional maintenance work includes reroofing completed in 2012 ($14,000) and the installation of six aluminum windows in 1989 (permit now expired).

The building's recent history shows no major resident complaints or safety incidents directly related to the building's condition, as evidenced by the limited nature of the 311 calls associated with the address, which were solely related to two reports of an abandoned vehicle (a green Nissan Quest) in 2017 and 2019, both of which were resolved when the vehicle was no longer present. The property appears to have been regularly maintained, with the most recent significant work focusing on electrical improvements and exterior maintenance, particularly during 2016 when multiple interventions were performed to address both aesthetic and functional concerns.

Risk rating

How 34 Iris 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.
