Initial analysis

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 435 3rd Ave in the Inner Richmond, owned by the Grace Yip Trust, has undergone several maintenance and safety improvements since its construction in 1969. Most recently, in April 2022, the electrical system was upgraded with the replacement of an FPE panel and the installation of new electrical receptacles in common areas. The building received vinyl siding installation to its left side in 2011, though this work was not visible from the street. Historical records show a notable cluster of fire safety violations in May 2003, including issues with fire proofing materials, fire escape obstructions, and smoke detector installations, though all these violations were abated by the end of May 2003. A routine inspection in 2010 and a water-related complaint in 1997 (regarding leaking issues from an upstairs shower) were also documented, with the latter being resolved promptly the following day.

Recent activity around the property has primarily involved addressing parking enforcement issues, with multiple citations issued for driveway blocking between March and April 2022. The building's recent external maintenance (vinyl siding) and electrical system upgrade suggest ongoing attention to building improvements. While there have been various 311 calls regarding street-related issues (such as general cleaning and sidewalk blockage), these are typical urban maintenance matters not directly related to building operations. The most recent building-related service interaction was a routine complaint about loose garbage in June 2024, which was resolved by the Department of Public Works.

Risk rating

How 435 3Rd 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 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 758 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 78.7%
Moderate concern 13.0%
Severe concern 8.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
