Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 559-561 34th Avenue in San Francisco's Outer Richmond neighborhood is a two-story flats/duplex structure owned by Murashige Mutsuhiko & Aki and constructed in 1925. The property's maintenance record shows significant attention to structural integrity and safety, with a completed $18,000 re-roofing project in 2021, and an earlier attempt at a soft-story retrofit in 2011 involving structural strengthening through plywood installation and bolting, though this permit ultimately expired without completion. A survey inspection of the electrical system was initiated in March 2022, though the outcome is not specified in the records.

The building has experienced several infrastructure and maintenance challenges over the past two years. Notably, there was a sewage back-up incident through a side sewer vent in September 2024, though no overflow was observed upon inspection. The property has also faced issues with pavement defects near the sidewalk/curb area, which were addressed in December 2024. There has been a recurring problem with vehicles blocking driveways, with multiple citations issued between June and December 2024, though not all complaints could be validated. Other minor maintenance issues include a report of garbage and debris (August 2024) and a Christmas tree removal request (January 2024). While these incidents represent various building issues and neighborhood interactions, they primarily relate to routine maintenance and parking enforcement rather than major structural or safety concerns.

Risk rating

How 559-561 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
