Initial analysis

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 135-137 Terra Vista Ave, constructed in 1948 and currently owned by Ophelia M Lo Trust, has undergone several significant maintenance and safety-related improvements over the years. Most recently, in December 2023, the building completed a $19,500 renovation involving the removal and restoration of terrazzo exterior stairs at Unit 145, including addressing rot on the side wall and restuccoing the area. This followed a similar stair repair project from 2015 costing $16,000 that addressed steps and landing replacement along with stucco repairs.

The building encountered multiple safety compliance issues in October 2003, when violations were filed regarding security and fire safety requirements, including problems with egress obstruction, exterior door hardware, and fire extinguisher availability. These violations were all successfully abated by April 2004. The property has also experienced some infrastructure challenges, as evidenced by several 311 calls between 2018 and 2024, including issues with sewage backup (January 2018), water leak inspection (January 2018), pavement defects (August 2023), and a sidewalk defect (October 2022). While most maintenance issues have been addressed, two recent infrastructure complaints from 2022 and 2023 regarding sidewalk and pavement defects remain open. The building's roofing system was addressed in 1998, though this permit has since expired.

Risk rating

How 135-137 Terra Vista 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
26th percentile

Out of 136 buildings in this neighborhood, 101 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 size

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

Number of units

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

Building age

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 55.6%
Moderate concern 38.2%
Severe concern 6.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
