Initial analysis

The three-story, 18-unit apartment building at 395 Euclid Avenue, owned by Hubert Hing-chung Tsang and constructed in 1977, has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years. Most recently, in 2024, the building has experienced multiple compliance issues, including active complaints and violations regarding unauthorized work in Unit 305, involving bathroom, kitchen, and laundry modifications without proper permits. This unit's unauthorized work has triggered multiple inspections and violations across building systems, including plumbing and electrical. Continuing maintenance includes an upcoming re-roofing project scheduled for 2024 costing $38,000, and previously completed work in 2015 for mandatory soft-story retrofit compliance. Historical records show the building has maintained active compliance with major safety requirements, including the resolution of retaining wall issues (2017), routine fire alarm corrections, and regular maintenance of essential systems such as fire safety equipment and electrical systems. The property has also experienced recent infrastructure challenges, with multiple 311 calls in 2024 related to tree maintenance and sidewalk issues. Historical building records indicate previous compliance matters have been properly addressed, including a 2004 fire safety inspection that resulted in required corrections being completed promptly. The building's management history demonstrates ongoing attention to structural integrity and safety requirements, though recent unauthorized modifications have prompted increased regulatory scrutiny.

Risk rating

How 395 Euclid 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.

Number of units
