Initial analysis

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 434-436 35th Avenue in San Francisco's Outer Richmond neighborhood, owned by the Kan & Kam Shang Chu 1994 Trust, was constructed in 1906 and stands three stories tall. The property has undergone several significant improvements, most notably a comprehensive renovation of Unit 436 in 2018 that included bathroom and kitchen remodels, electrical upgrades including new fixtures and smoke detectors, and an upgrade to the 200-amp overhead service with four meters. This renovation, valued at over $36,000, was permitted through various building, plumbing, and electrical permits. In 1986, structural work was completed to repair mudsills and walls above the concrete foundation, and the building received a new roof in 1990.

The property has experienced multiple parking-related issues in recent years, particularly between 2019-2022, with several incidents of vehicles blocking driveways or parking on sidewalks, resulting in multiple citations. There was also one noise complaint in 2020 and a fire alarm transmission incident, though the latter was determined to be unintentional and caused no injuries. The most recent interaction with city services was in February 2024 regarding a rent board fee and housing inventory matter, which was resolved with a database correction. While the building has received regular maintenance and improvements, the cluster of parking enforcement issues suggests ongoing challenges with on-street parking in the area.

Risk rating

How 434-436 35Th 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, 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.

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 52.8%
Moderate concern 32.2%
Severe concern 15.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
