Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 105-107 3rd Avenue in The Presidio neighborhood, owned by Ronald J & Mary L Lau Revoc, has undergone significant renovations in recent years. In 2013, the property underwent substantial improvements including kitchen and bathroom remodels, installation of recessed lighting, and electrical system upgrades, with permits totaling approximately $35,000. This work was preceded by two building complaints in January 2013 regarding unpermitted construction work, though these complaints were resolved within a week. The building's recent history shows some plumbing and electrical permits from 2013 have expired, though most of the associated work was completed under proper permits.

The property has experienced various maintenance and infrastructure issues in 2024, including a sewage backup incident in February and an abandoned vehicle complaint in July. There have been multiple parking-related complaints in 2024, suggesting ongoing challenges with street parking in the vicinity. Interestingly, a tree maintenance issue involving property damage was reported in February 2024 and remains open as of the latest available data. The building has had one recorded fire incident, though it was classified as a false alarm with no civilian injuries. While the property has required various maintenance responses, particularly related to sewer systems, most serious infrastructure work appears to have been completed during the 2013 renovation period.

Risk rating

How 105-107 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

Out of 660 buildings in this neighborhood, 73 are predicted to be safer.
