Initial analysis

The property at 136-138 Seal Rock Drive is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Outer Richmond neighborhood. Built in 1947 and currently owned by Alvin & Jeanie Joe Revocable Trust, this flats/duplex building has undergone several significant renovations over its lifetime, with the most recent work occurring in late 2023. The recent improvements included comprehensive exterior maintenance, with three major permits issued in October 2023: removal and repair of skylights and flat roof ($14,390), skylight removal/repair ($2,500), and extensive front wall rehabilitation involving stucco removal, framing repairs for dry rot damage, new plywood sheathing, waterproofing, window replacements, and stucco work ($30,000).

In December 2023, there was a complaint regarding improper removal of stucco without containment, with concerns about lead paint containment, though this issue was abated within a day. The building has a history of addressing maintenance needs, including bathroom renovations in 2012 (new shower fixtures, toilets, and linoleum flooring), electrical upgrades (installation of GFCI outlets), and window replacements (previously in 1993 and 2002). Earlier records show attention to issues like dry rot repairs in 2002 and historical roof work dating back to 1995. The property has maintained compliance with necessary permits and inspections, with building improvements consistently focused on addressing wear and maintenance needs, particularly regarding water-related elements such as roofs and bathroom facilities. Two 311 calls were recorded in 2019, related to a damaged tree and trash dumping issues in the neighborhood park, though these were external to the property itself and have since been resolved.

Risk rating

How 136-138 Seal Rock Dr'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.
