Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 674-676 36th Avenue in San Francisco's Outer Richmond neighborhood, owned by the Daisy W Low Trust, was constructed in 1925 and is classified as a Flats & Duplex structure. The property underwent significant renovations in 2007-2008, including a major remodeling project valued at $60,000 that converted existing spaces, reconstructed exit stairs, added new rooms, and modified the parking area with steel beams for side-by-side parking. This renovation was accompanied by substantial plumbing work, installing numerous bathroom and kitchen fixtures, and electrical upgrades including new service installations and garage door modifications.

In terms of more recent history, the building has experienced recurring parking issues, with several documented cases of vehicles blocking driveways between 2016 and 2024, though these are typical urban challenges and not indicative of building-specific problems. A sewer-related incident was reported in October 2016 involving a 4-inch sewer vent, which was resolved by PUC Sewer Operations. The most recent significant work was performed in 2008, including the installation of multiple bathroom and kitchen fixtures, though there are no major building modifications or violations on record in recent years. The property appears to have maintained compliance with building codes and regulations since the extensive renovations of 2007-2008.

Risk rating

How 674-676 36Th 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 1040 buildings in this neighborhood, 510 are predicted to be safer.
