Initial analysis

The 21-unit multi-family residential building at 430 34th Avenue in the Outer Richmond neighborhood, owned by Green & Union Prpts Lp, has undergone significant improvements since its construction in 1926. Most recently, in October 2024, the building began upgrading its fire alarm system to add low frequency sounders and other safety enhancements, with similar electrical work issued in January 2025. The building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements. Major rehabilitation work occurred between 2004-2005 following a fire incident, including extensive repairs to walls and roofs, installation of new insulation, and updates to bathrooms and kitchens at a cost exceeding $700,000.

The property has experienced recurring issues with moisture and mold, with the most recent complaints filed in late 2023 and early 2023, though these complaints did not specify whether they were officially abated. Numerous fire safety violations were documented between 2015 and 2023, including a recent open violation from November 2023 regarding sleeping area requirements, though many previous issues such as blocked exits, alarm system problems, and combustible materials concerns have been corrected. The building underwent significant infrastructure upgrades in recent years, including the installation of a new hot water boiler system in 2020 and comprehensive electrical system modernization in 2004-2005, which included rewiring vacant units and adding new subpanels. The property has maintained a history of addressing violations promptly, though several recent mold-related issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.

Risk rating

How 430 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

Out of 1040 buildings in this neighborhood, 1030 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.

Number of units

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

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.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 20.2%
Moderate concern 62.5%
Severe concern 17.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
