Initial analysis

The two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 558 34th Avenue in the Outer Richmond, owned by the Katzenmeyer Family Trust, has undergone several significant maintenance and safety improvements since 2018. Most recently, in June 2023, the building received an electrical upgrade with the replacement of two FPE panels with UL-listed brands, demonstrating attention to safety standards. Prior improvements include a complete reroofing project in January 2022 costing $12,000, and the installation of ten new street-visible windows with energy-efficient fiberglass frames in September 2021, which met modern U-factor standards.

The building's recent history shows regular maintenance and prompt response to various municipal service requests. There has been some recurring parking enforcement activity near the property, with three calls between August 2023 and April 2024 regarding driveway blocking, though these issues were either not validated or could not be located by responding officers. Street lighting issues were identified and resolved promptly by PG&E in late 2020, with two separate flickering streetlight incidents reported and fixed between November and December. The property has also experienced typical urban residential issues, including occasional garbage debris (as reported in June 2024) and a Christmas tree disposal in January 2021, both of which were resolved. The building's permit and maintenance record suggests regular upkeep by the owners, with particular focus on safety improvements and energy efficiency upgrades.

Risk rating

How 558 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
73th percentile

Out of 1040 buildings in this neighborhood, 281 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.

Building age

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

Neighborhood location

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

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 80.6%
Moderate concern 15.9%
Severe concern 3.6%
