Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 479-481 34th Avenue in San Francisco's Outer Richmond neighborhood is a 1904 flats and duplex structure owned by John Eliott Beebe Iii Revoc. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past two decades, with the most recent being a window replacement in June 2024 and the installation of solar panels (13 PV modules) with a new subpanel in May 2022. Prior notable work includes repairs to dry-rotted siding in 2019 (completed), a reroofing project in 2014 (issued), and a substantial garden room replacement in 2000 (completed). There were also foundation issues addressed in 2000, though this permit expired before completion.

The building has experienced some maintenance challenges, including a sewage backup incident in 2012 and multiple tree damage reports in January 2019, which required inspection and restaking. Several street space permits have been issued over the years, with the most significant being on 04/01/2002 for $80,000. Recent years have seen relatively few issues directly related to the building itself, with most 311 calls pertaining to street cleaning, parking violations, and a tree maintenance matter in 2019. The property has maintained its infrastructure through regular updates, as evidenced by the solar panel installation and ongoing window improvements.

Risk rating

How 479-481 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
49th percentile

Out of 1040 buildings in this neighborhood, 530 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.

Neighborhood location

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

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

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 73.5%
Moderate concern 20.0%
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.
