Initial analysis

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 3 Broderick Street, located in the Buena Vista Park neighborhood, is a two-story apartment structure built in 1900 and currently owned by the Paula M Pagano Revoc 2006 Trust. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, with significant work including a $13,000 reroofing project in 2011, and more recent updates such as a 40-gallon water heater replacement in 2022, completed sewer line and house trap replacement in 2010, and a gas leak pressure test that same year. The property experienced a fire safety violation in September 2009 regarding fire extinguisher recharging, which was promptly abated by October 15, 2009.

Recent activity around the property includes multiple 311 calls in 2022-2024, primarily related to street and sidewalk maintenance issues such as graffiti and loose garbage, which were all resolved through appropriate city channels. The most recent building-related concerns have been primarily focused on parking enforcement, with two invalid complaints about blocked driveways in October 2024. The property's historical permit and maintenance records suggest regular upkeep and prompt attention to safety requirements, with no recurring or unresolved building code violations on record.

Risk rating

How 3 Broderick 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
42th percentile

Out of 351 buildings in this neighborhood, 204 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.

Neighborhood location

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

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 70.7%
Moderate concern 19.2%
Severe concern 10.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
