Initial analysis

The property at 3426-3428 Balboa Street is a two-story mixed-use building constructed in 1924, containing three residential units above ground-floor retail space, currently owned by Alliland LLC. The building has undergone several significant modifications over the years, with the most substantial being a completed rear extension in 2003 costing $100,000, which included electrical upgrades (E200312166763) for additional lighting and outlets. In the early 2000s, there were multiple attempts and some successful modifications to improve accessibility and update the retail space, including the installation of handicapped accessible toilets and storefront facade revisions, though some of these permits expired or were withdrawn.

The property has a notable history of compliance issues from 2001, when multiple complaints were filed regarding unauthorized conversions of residential and commercial spaces, including the installation of a two-room apartment (3428A) behind the retail space, changes to second-floor units, and unpermitted electrical work. These violations were ultimately abated by 2002. More recently, the building's vicinity has experienced typical urban maintenance issues, with several 311 calls between 2020-2024 regarding street cleaning, waste removal, and illegal postings, though none of these directly indicate problems with the building's habitability or operations. A 2021 Planning record indicates a proposal to convert the existing second-floor residential unit to office space and relocate displaced residential units to a new three-story building in the rear yard, though the current status and implementation of this proposal is not clear from the available data.

Risk rating

How 3426-3428 Balboa St'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.
