Initial analysis

The property at 627-629 32nd Avenue in San Francisco's Outer Richmond neighborhood is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1936. The building has undergone significant interior modernization over the past several years, with major renovation work occurring between 2017 and 2019. Each floor unit (including ground floor #627A) received substantial improvements, including kitchen relocations, bathroom additions, and electrical upgrades. Recent work in 2019 alone included a comprehensive ground floor remodel with new kitchen, bathroom relocations, electrical rewiring, and wall/insulation work costing approximately $82,000. The building's infrastructure has also been updated, featuring new furnaces installed in 2019, an electrical panel upgrade to 200A in late 2018, and various plumbing improvements including new fixtures and water heater installations.

Historical records show the building faced several fire safety and maintenance issues in 2003, including violations related to gas shutoff tools, fire proofing, and sprinkler requirements, but these were all abated by September 2003. A 2006 complaint regarding sheetrock work was also promptly resolved. Earlier improvements include a reroofing project completed in 2007. The property's recent permit history indicates active management and maintenance by the current ownership (Lew Family Trust), with no outstanding violations or complaints on record since 2006. All recent renovation work has been properly permitted and completed, suggesting that the building's systems and living spaces have been substantially improved and modernized over the past five years.

Risk rating

How 627-629 32Nd 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.
