Initial analysis

The property at 633 Arguello Boulevard is a 1-story, 2-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1908, currently owned by Yakov & Eugenia Sinitsky Fm. Significant recent developments include active permits filed in September 2024 for the demolition of the existing building and construction of a new 4-story, 4-unit residential building with basement parking, representing a substantial upgrade to the property. This project is being handled by Kerman Morris Architects, LLP and has received necessary approvals under the Constraints Reduction Ordinance.

The building has experienced several maintenance and safety issues in recent years, most notably a cluster of violations in 2014-2015 related to plumbing, electrical systems, and safety requirements, including the need for smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors. These violations, along with a 2014 complaint about mold and broken windows, were ultimately abated by December 2014. A more recent complaint in 2024 regarding early morning construction noise was filed and resolved by July 2024. The property's maintenance history includes various improvements such as reroofing in 1996 and laundry room modifications in 1985. During 2024, there have been multiple reports of parking violations near the property, though these are not directly related to the building's condition or management. The upcoming redevelopment project suggests an anticipated upgrade to both the building's condition and the surrounding area, transforming the current 2-unit structure into a more modern, code-compliant 4-unit building.

Risk rating

How 633 Arguello Blvd'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.
