Initial analysis

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 124-126 3rd Avenue, located in the Lake-The Presidio neighborhood and owned by Eym Trust, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1903. Most notably, in 2008, the property underwent a comprehensive window replacement project costing nearly $25,000, including the installation of 15 new Marvin windows and 9 additional windows in front, with particular attention to materials and energy efficiency (0.67 U-factor). Earlier improvements included reroofing work completed in 1996, replacement of front doors and kitchen flooring in the same year, and significant interior modifications in 1995 involving the removal of an illegal ground floor unit and non-bearing walls in the garage, with the permit for the illegal unit removal indicating a cost of $5,000. The building experienced a roof leakage issue affecting two bedrooms and a bathroom in late 1994, which was documented and subsequently addressed by October 1995.

More recent history shows no major building-specific complaints or violations, though there have been several parking-related incidents in the immediate vicinity. The most recent parking enforcement call was made in April 2024, with previous incidents reported in March 2020 and August 2019, indicating an ongoing issue with parking enforcement in the area. These parking incidents are recorded under the 311 system and have typically been addressed by responding officers, though not all cases resulted in citations or confirmed violators. The building's permit history suggests regular maintenance and upgrading of essential systems and features, with no documented safety concerns or building code violations in recent years.

Risk rating

How 124-126 3Rd Ave'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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 76.5%
Moderate concern 15.8%
Severe concern 7.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
