Initial analysis

The three-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 454-456 34th Avenue in the Outer Richmond, owned by Randall & Shirlene Nakano 2, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1925. The most substantial recent renovations occurred in 2014, when the property was extensively upgraded with a $44,000 bathroom remodeling project, a $22,000 kitchen remodel including electrical updates, window replacements, and a new roofing project. The building also received important infrastructure improvements in 2020 with the replacement of the upper sewer lateral and house trap. A minor incident was recorded regarding a contained cooking fire with no civilian injuries, though specific details about this incident are not provided. The property has maintained good upkeep over the years, with a documented plumbing and electrical renovation history, including sewer work in 2020 and significant kitchen and bathroom remodeling in 2014, along with corresponding electrical upgrades. Of note, there is currently an open noise complaint from June 2024, and two street cleaning issues from 2018, though these external matters do not directly reflect on the building's condition. The building's maintenance record shows regular updates to key systems and living spaces, with particular attention paid to kitchen and bathroom facilities, windows, and roofing over the years.

Risk rating

How 454-456 34Th 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
27th percentile

Out of 1040 buildings in this neighborhood, 759 are predicted to be safer.

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.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

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 48.3%
Moderate concern 24.1%
Severe concern 27.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
