Initial analysis

The Lau Family Trust owns this two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building located at 3033 Turk Blvd in the Lone Mountain neighborhood. Built in 1939, the apartment building has undergone numerous renovations over the years, with the most recent significant work completed in October 2023 including a $110,000 remodel of Unit #3 that involved converting part of the living room to a bedroom, updating the bathroom and kitchen, and installing new electrical fixtures. This recent work also included plumbing modifications and electrical upgrades, suggesting active maintenance of building systems. The property has a history of regular maintenance and upgrades, with notable improvements including a $20,000 remodel of Unit #4 in 2018, kitchen updates in Unit #1 in 2015, and various electrical and plumbing improvements throughout the units.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to both interior and exterior upkeep, including roofing work in 1998, stucco repairs in 1996, and fungus repairs in 1992. The property underwent a routine safety inspection in 2017, and although there were several fire safety violations identified during a 2004 inspection (including issues with fire extinguishers and smoke enclosure doors), these were promptly addressed and abated by January 2005. Recent 311 calls from 2021-2024 primarily concerned external issues such as parking violations, sidewalk defects, and graffiti, rather than building safety or maintenance concerns. Two fire incidents were recorded near the building, but both were non-serious situations with no civilian injuries reported. An open 311 call from September 2024 regarding an overgrown tree is the only current unresolved issue on record.

Risk rating

How 3033 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
69th percentile

Out of 519 buildings in this neighborhood, 161 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.

Number of units

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

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 73.1%
Moderate concern 11.5%
Severe concern 15.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
