Initial analysis

The two-story multi-family residential building at 33-37 Delmar Street in Haight Ashbury, owned by Jl Survivor's Trust, was constructed in 1910 and contains four units. The property has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance work over the years, with the most recent major works including a tenant buyout at 35 Delmar Street in October 2023 for $25,000. Between 2009-2010, substantial improvements were made including kitchen remodels, cabinet additions, electrical upgrades, and the installation of new furnaces and ductwork for units 33, 33A, and 37. The building has experienced several compliance issues, with violations recorded in 2017 related to building affidavits, and earlier issues in 2003 regarding fire safety equipment and self-closing doors, all of which were subsequently abated. Historical complaints from 1995-2009 indicate various maintenance concerns, including inadequate heating, lighting issues in common areas, and unauthorized renovations, though these were addressed through the proper channels. Recent maintenance records show ongoing attention to building systems, with the most current 311 calls in 2024 reporting a sewage discharge issue and street cleaning matters, both of which were resolved. A documented fire incident occurred related to equipment failure, though no civilian injuries were reported.

The building's maintenance history shows regular updates to essential systems, including multiple kitchen remodels, electrical work, and window replacements. The property has undergone periodic routine inspections by Housing Inspection Services, with most violations being promptly addressed. Recent infrastructure issues have been primarily related to plumbing and exterior maintenance. Documentation shows that the owner has generally fulfilled requirements to address building violations, though there was one instance in 2009 of unauthorized kitchen and water heater work that triggered a complaint. The most recent tenant buyout in 2023 suggests active property management, though the relatively low buyout amount could indicate typical market conditions for the area. The building's age and history suggest a regular pattern of maintenance and upgrades, with particular attention paid to kitchen and heating systems over the years.

Risk rating

How 33-37 Delmar 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

Out of 581 buildings in this neighborhood, 325 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.

Building size

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

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 50.1%
Moderate concern 21.7%
Severe concern 28.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
