Initial analysis

The 2-story, 8-unit multi-family residential building at 636 33rd Avenue in the Outer Richmond, owned by Fb Global Properties 636-33, was constructed in 1926 and has undergone significant maintenance and renovations over the years. Most recently, in February 2024, permits were filed for system replacement and new horn installations to meet updated fire code requirements. Between 2015 and 2020, all eight units underwent kitchen and bathroom remodels focusing on fixture and finish updates, with costs ranging from $21,000 to $40,000 per unit. These improvements included comprehensive electrical and plumbing upgrades.

The building has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over its history. Notably, in early 2022, there were complaints about strong lacquer fumes during flooring work in vacant units 2 and 8, and in 2016, multiple heating, water, and mold-related complaints were filed regarding unit 3. A series of fire safety violations were documented in late 2004, including issues with the fire alarm system, sprinkler requirements, and security locks, though these were all abated by January 2005. More recent concerns include multiple open noise complaints from late 2024 and a false fire alarm incident in January 2023 that resulted in violation notices for the alarm system maintenance and posting requirements, which have since been abated. The building underwent a reroofing project in 1997, and there have been periodic complaints about construction dust and paint containment in recent years, particularly during 2015-2016.

Risk rating

How 636 33Rd 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
