Initial analysis

The property at 330 3rd Avenue in the Inner Richmond is a 4-story multi-family residential building, constructed in 1900 and consisting of two units, currently owned by the Dawson-sizer 2003 Trust. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade, most notably a substantial horizontal addition in 2014 that extended the structure 20'-6" at the rear and added new off-street parking, including a studio and kitchen on the first floor, kitchen with half bath on the second floor, and a master bedroom on the third floor, all at a cost of $365,000. In 2015-2016, comprehensive safety upgrades were completed, including the installation of a fire sprinkler system throughout the building (costing $24,000), 200-amp main service with two subpanels, and extensive electrical work including 50 switches, 100 receptacles, and multiple appliance installations. Recent improvements include the installation of a hot tub (2024), an EV charger with sub-panel (2024), house trap replacement (2021), and rear yard drainage improvements (2021).

The building has a history of various maintenance and upgrade work, including plumbing and HVAC system improvements, though several permits from 2014-2015 are listed as expired rather than completed. A complaint was filed in December 2020 regarding unpermitted jackhammering and excavation work in the backyard, which took over a year to resolve. Recent activity at the property has predominantly involved parking-related issues, with multiple 311 calls in late 2024 regarding blocked driveways and illegal parking, suggesting ongoing challenges with parking enforcement in the area. The property has maintained its compliance with building codes through various inspections and permit requirements, including the installation of comprehensive safety systems and modernization of utilities, though the persistence of parking-related issues may indicate continued neighborhood challenges in this regard.

Risk rating

How 330 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
