Initial analysis

The property at 307-317 3rd Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Richmond district is a two-story, mixed-use building constructed in 1908, containing 9 residential units and ground-floor commercial space, currently owned by C Cournale & Co Inc. The building underwent significant remediation work following a substantial fire in 2011-2012 that caused extensive damage to multiple residential units and commercial spaces, requiring complete rewiring, plumbing repairs, and staircase system rehabilitation in 2016. The building has since completed important safety improvements, including mandatory seismic retrofitting to comply with San Francisco's soft-story program, which was documented as complete with a Certificate of Final Completion issued.

Recent building activity includes compliance work for the Awning Amnesty Program in 2024, legalizing existing signs on the property at 201-201A Clement Street. The property has maintained active engagement with city requirements, addressing various maintenance and improvement needs such as accessibility upgrades in 2019. The building's management has responded to multiple inspection findings and violations over the years, most notably the 2011 fire damage assessment and subsequent repairs. Recent maintenance issues have mostly centered around exterior concerns including parking enforcement matters and minor street maintenance needs as documented in 311 calls, though these are municipal service issues rather than building-specific problems. The most recent building permit activity relates to commercial signage compliance as of 2024, indicating ongoing management attention to both residential and commercial components of the property.

Risk rating

How 307-317 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 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 1568 are predicted to be safer.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 42.0%
Moderate concern 49.7%
Severe concern 8.3%
