Initial analysis

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 500-502 35th Avenue in the Outer Richmond, built in 1936, is currently undergoing significant renovations as of summer 2023, with permits issued for converting garage space into habitable bedrooms and a bathroom, along with kitchen remodeling and furnace replacements in both units. The property has maintained an active schedule of improvements and maintenance over the years, including a 2024 upgrade to 95% AFUE ultra low NOx furnaces, relocation of water heaters in early 2025, and substantial plumbing work including bathroom, laundry, and kitchen updates in mid-2024. Historical maintenance records show attention to structural and safety issues, such as dry rot repairs to rear stairs in 2013, roof replacement in 2003, and multiple kitchen and bathroom renovations in the early 2000s.

Recent activity indicates attention to building systems and infrastructure, with a focus on energy efficiency through furnace replacements and plumbing updates. The property has experienced some neighborhood maintenance issues, as evidenced by 311 calls, primarily related to parking violations and illegal postings, but these incidents appear to be exterior to the building itself. A tree inspection in 2022 noted some damage but determined the tree was not a removal candidate. While there was one historical fire incident involving a power line issue, it resulted in no civilian injuries. The building's ownership has been under the Suzanne Bette Weinberg family trust since 2018, and the property has undergone various improvements while maintaining compliance with local building codes and regulations.

Risk rating

How 500-502 35Th 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, 31 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

DBI complaint rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building complaint rate across the owner's portfolio.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 91.7%
Moderate concern 5.9%
Severe concern 2.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
