Initial analysis

The property at 527 34th Avenue is a two-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Outer Richmond neighborhood. Built in 1996, this two-story flats/duplex structure has undergone several improvements over its lifetime, with the most recent significant modification being the addition of a rear ground floor deck in 2014, valued at $1,500. Earlier renovations included installation of new exterior siding on the sides and back of the building in 2011, which cost $9,500, and the installation of gas plumbing for a coin-operated dryer in 2013. The building was originally constructed in 1995 after the demolition of a single-family dwelling on the site.

The property has experienced recurring issues with parking violations in recent years, particularly in early 2022, with multiple reports of vehicles blocking driveways. Between January and June 2022, there were three confirmed citations issued for driveway blocking, though several complaints were filed that could not be processed due to incomplete reporting information. Additionally, there were multiple reports of abandoned vehicles in the vicinity during this period, with five such incidents recorded in January 2022 alone, though all were resolved with vehicles being gone upon inspection. The building's history includes one recorded fire incident, though this was classified as a false alarm with no civilian injuries reported. Outside of these events, the property has maintained a relatively quiet record with no major safety or maintenance issues documented.

Risk rating

How 527 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

Out of 1040 buildings in this neighborhood, 83 are predicted to be safer.
