Initial analysis

The three-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located at 485 34th Avenue in San Francisco's Outer Richmond neighborhood, built in 1900, has undergone several significant improvements and maintenance projects over the past two decades. The most recent major work was completed in 2022, including foundation and beam improvements at the front of the property, along with wood siding and storefront tile repairs (cost: $30,000). The building's infrastructure has been systematically upgraded, with a new 150-amp main electrical panel installed in 2022 and the addition of three new meter services in 2010. Plumbing improvements include the installation of an outdoor hose bib and a grease trap in 2023 and 2014, respectively. A comprehensive review of fire safety measures shows the installation of a Kidde fire system in 2003, though there was one operating without a permit complaint in 2021 that was resolved by August of the same year.

Recent activity around the property (2023-2024) has primarily involved maintenance and public service matters, including multiple reports of garbage and debris, illegal parking incidents, and one flooding incident in December 2024 that was resolved. The property has maintained its commercial component as evidenced by planning records showing various approvals related to the Pacific Cafe, including its Legacy Business designation. Historical records indicate that the building was part of a larger property development and maintenance history, including a demolition completed in 1984, and planning records suggest previous considerations for changes to the rear yard area. While there have been multiple fire department responses in recent years, these incidents have primarily been false alarms or routine assistance calls, with no civilian injuries reported. The building's maintenance history indicates regular attention to structural and safety systems, with most recent improvements focusing on infrastructure upgrades and basic maintenance needs.

Risk rating

How 485 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
25th percentile

Out of 1040 buildings in this neighborhood, 780 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.

Building size

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 61.9%
Moderate concern 21.0%
Severe concern 17.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
