Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 675-677 35th Avenue in San Francisco's Outer Richmond neighborhood, owned by Michael Berenstein and Pevzne, is a duplex structure built in 1925. The building's maintenance history shows several significant improvement projects over the years, including a 1999 repair of dry rot in the upper exterior stairway, the removal of a wet bar sink and plumbing modifications in 1997, and the addition of a laundry room, playroom, and bathroom in 1984. A notable incident occurred in 1997 when concerns were raised about an unauthorized in-law unit in the basement with a kitchen, electrical problems, and a commercial tailoring business operating in the residential space; this complaint was officially abated in 2001. Recent building-related activity is limited to a 2018 street space permit with minimal cost.

The property has experienced recurring issues with driveway access, with seven parking enforcement calls for blocked driveways documented between 2018 and 2023, resulting in several citations issued to offending vehicles. Additional infrastructure concerns in the immediate vicinity include two reports of pavement defects in 2016, both of which were resolved though one was transferred to another department, and a street cleaning incident in 2018 involving loose garbage. The building's permit history shows regular maintenance and upgrades over the years, including reroofing work in 1998, though this permit is noted as expired. While the property has had some maintenance issues in the past, particularly in the late 1990s, there are no recorded building complaints or major violations in recent years, suggesting improved property management and compliance with building codes.

Risk rating

How 675-677 35Th 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.
