Initial analysis

The 13-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 369 3rd Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Richmond district has undergone significant improvements since its built year of 1977, most notably completing mandatory soft-story seismic upgrades in 2018 (as a Tier 4 building) at a cost exceeding $100,000. Recent major renovations in 2020 included comprehensive unit upgrades with bathroom and kitchen remodels in multiple units, replacement of 29 electric wall heaters, and window replacements (both street-facing and interior units), totaling approximately $250,000. The building's safety systems have received particular attention, with completed fire alarm system upgrades in 2020 to meet current fire code requirements, installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas, and periodic fire safety inspections highlighting issues such as blocked exits and extinguisher maintenance that have been corrected. The property has maintained active compliance with building codes, evidenced by systematic responses to violations including upgrading emergency lighting, maintaining fire extinguishers, and addressing exit storage issues (all abated as of 2017). Historical maintenance issues have included plumbing problems (notably in 2007-2008) and various repair needs including a 2014 complaint about flues/vents and work without proper permits, though these have been addressed over time. The building's management has demonstrated consistent responsiveness to fire safety concerns, with prompt corrections of violations and regular maintenance of safety equipment, as evidenced by multiple fire violation corrections between 2017-2023. Recent 311 calls from 2024 primarily relate to external issues such as sidewalk debris and street cleaning matters rather than building-specific concerns.

Risk rating

How 369 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 size

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

Number of units

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

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 70.8%
Moderate concern 22.5%
Severe concern 6.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
