Initial analysis

The Wong/Tran Family Trust owns this two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located at 563 37th Ave in the Outer Richmond neighborhood. Built in 1985 after the completion of a demolition project in August 1984, the building was constructed with safety features including a fire sprinkler system installed under permit #8501568. The property has experienced a limited number of significant building-related issues over its history, with the most recent being a sewer leak complaint filed in October 2022, which is currently listed as not active.

The building has experienced ongoing challenges with parking enforcement in the vicinity, with multiple incidents of driveway blocking recorded between 2018 and 2024. Recent cases include a resolved citation for a red Kia Sportage in March 2024 and previous citations for vehicles blocking driveways in July 2021 (silver Honda CRV), September 2021 (red Toyota), and February 2019 (grey Toyota Prius). There have been several reports of abandoned vehicles in the area, with six such incidents recorded between 2012 and 2023, though in each case the vehicles were gone upon inspection. The only non-parking related issue recorded was a loose garbage cleanup in the street/sidewalk area addressed by DPW in September 2016.

Risk rating

How 563 37Th 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
