AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 574-576 Arguello Boulevard in the Lone Mountain neighborhood is a 1938 two-story flats/duplex structure currently owned by Zephyr Farm Tr. The property has undergone several improvements over the years, including a reroofing project and shower tile installation in 1996, and the installation of four aluminum windows in 1988, with a notable repair in 2003 involving the replacement of a damaged post at the front of the building following an incident where it was knocked over by a car. Two fire safety incidents are on record, one in March 2023 regarding open flame burning and another in March 2011 concerning blocked exits, both of which were promptly corrected.

Recent activity at the property has generated multiple 311 calls throughout 2024, with several related to parking issues, including abandoned vehicles and driveway blockages. There are also ongoing concerns about noise, with two noise-related complaints filed in August 2024, as well as a potentially hazardous tree situation noted in August. Two tree maintenance issues were reported, one in October 2024 regarding property damage and another in August 2024 about a damaged tree that was "about to fall." The building's violation history shows only one significant incident, the 2003 violation related to the damaged post, which was resolved within approximately one month. While the property has experienced various maintenance and parking-related challenges in recent years, there are no active building violations or major structural issues currently on record.

Risk rating

How 574-576 Arguello Blvd'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.
