Initial analysis

The two-story multi-family residential building at 578-580 3rd Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood, owned by Stephen R & Gabriella Z Pap, was constructed in 1915 and contains four units. The property has undergone several significant improvements and repairs over the years, with the most recent work being the installation of new Hardie siding on the south side in September 2023, costing $18,000. A notable incident occurred in 2009 when Unit 580-A suffered fire damage, requiring comprehensive repairs including sheetrock replacement, flooring restoration, electrical rewiring, and bathroom renovation, totaling $84,000. The building has seen regular maintenance and upgrades, including a reroofing project in 2014 ($9,500), plumbing and electrical improvements in 2009, and the removal of a non-conforming basement apartment in 1989.

The property has experienced several inspections and violations, particularly in 2004-2005, when multiple fire safety and electrical issues were identified, including the need for fire extinguisher installation, gas meter instruction posting, smoke detector placement, and electrical cord wiring removal. These violations were all abated by February 2005. More recent building complaints include a 2015 report of unpermitted remodeling work and a routine safety inspection in 2015, both of which were resolved. The building's maintenance history shows consistent attention to structural and safety improvements, with multiple routine safety inspections conducted over the years, including exterior inspections in 2001 and subsequent years. Recent activity includes ongoing maintenance such as the 2023 siding installation, suggesting active property management. The area around the building has experienced various street-related issues, as evidenced by multiple reports of abandoned vehicles and parking complaints between 2013 and 2019, though these are not directly related to the building's condition or management.

Risk rating

How 578-580 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, 1068 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.

Building age

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

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 74.5%
Moderate concern 17.5%
Severe concern 8.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
