Initial analysis

The property at 3144-3146 Turk Blvd in the Lone Mountain neighborhood is a multi-family residential building comprising flats and duplex units. The building underwent significant improvements in the early 2000s, with a major horizontal and vertical addition completed in 2001 that added one more unit at a cost of $300,000. This was followed by the installation of a complete sprinkler system in 2003, as required by NFDA 13, representing a substantial safety upgrade valued at $17,000. Additional infrastructure improvements during this period included the installation of a revised water main service, new electrical system with 200-amp service, and various building address and street space permits.

The property has experienced consistent maintenance and urban management issues over the years, most notably recurring graffiti incidents on utility poles between 2009 and 2018, with at least three documented cases of such vandalism. The building's immediate surroundings have faced various urban maintenance challenges, including a sidewalk defect in 2019 that required utility vault resetting, and multiple incidents of illegal postings between 2009 and 2016. A damaged tree incident was reported and addressed in 2016. The most recent maintenance-related incident occurred in 2019, involving a parking enforcement issue related to an obstructed driveway. The building's documented history suggests regular maintenance and safety upgrades in the early 2000s, with subsequent years showing primarily external urban maintenance issues rather than internal building concerns.

Risk rating

How 3144-3146 Turk 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.

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.

Building age

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

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

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 84.9%
Moderate concern 10.8%
Severe concern 4.3%
