Initial analysis

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 32-34 Blake Street, owned by Quintal Family Trust 2015, was constructed in 1900 and features one story. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, including a complete reroofing in 2022 (cost: $10,400), a substantial kitchen remodel in 2014 ($12,000), and the addition of electrical upgrades including 200-amp 3-meter services in 2015. A concerning building violation filed in August 2023 has revealed multiple code violations, including unauthorized construction with plumbing and electrical work on the ground floor, an improperly converted sleeping room lacking emergency exits, open ductwork between the garage and living area, and inadequate heating and ventilation in habitable rooms. The ground floor area, initially permitted as a playroom/storage space in 2002, appears to have been converted to an unauthorized dwelling unit (UDU) with kitchen facilities, leading to an active investigation and proposed reversion to its original purpose.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to structural issues, with dry rot repairs and restucco work completed in 2015. Various electrical and plumbing improvements have been made over the years, including comprehensive kitchen updates in 2014 that involved new fixtures, appliances, and safety features. While the property has undergone numerous upgrades, the recent violations and unauthorized modifications present significant concerns regarding habitability and code compliance. The building's location has experienced recurring issues with parking violations, particularly regarding sidewalk parking and driveway blockages, which have required multiple citations over the years. A single recorded building fire incident was noted with no civilian injuries, though details about the location or impact on the building are not specified in the available data.

Risk rating

How 32-34 Blake 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

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.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

Building age

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

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 76.6%
Moderate concern 19.9%
Severe concern 3.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
