Initial analysis

The property at 572-574 37th Avenue in San Francisco's Outer Richmond neighborhood is a 2-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1981 and currently owned by the Hom Survivors Trust. The building's documented history shows several significant events, most notably a legal resolution to an unauthorized basement kitchen removal and storage room conversion in 1994, followed by a period of inspection and compliance that lasted until 1998. In 2010, there was a housing inspection complaint regarding high electrical bills suggesting potential unauthorized utility usage, though this issue was promptly addressed within a week. The building underwent a reroofing project in 1995, and in 2013, there was an issued permit for street space work.

The property has experienced regular parking enforcement issues in the surrounding area, with multiple reports of vehicles parking on sidewalks between 2022 and 2025, resulting in several citations. There have also been recent quality-of-life concerns in the vicinity, including dog barking noise reported in late 2023 and instances of loose garbage requiring street cleaning in late 2023 and early 2024. While the frequency of parking violations in the immediate area suggests ongoing challenges with vehicle management, most other reported issues appear to be external to the building itself and relate to general neighborhood maintenance and parking enforcement. The most recent documented complaint or permit related to the building infrastructure was over a decade ago, suggesting relative stability regarding major building systems and compliance issues.

Risk rating

How 572-574 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

Out of 1040 buildings in this neighborhood, 229 are predicted to be safer.
