Initial analysis

The property at 701-703 36th Ave in San Francisco's Outer Richmond neighborhood is a 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building with a street-level commercial space, built in 1946 and currently owned by Touye Ode F & Carole J Revo. The building, which underwent a significant transition to full-service restaurant use in 2013, has seen numerous commercial improvements over the past decade, including kitchen fire safety upgrades, equipment installations, and infrastructure improvements. Recent maintenance includes a water heater replacement in 2021, electrical system upgrades, and regular building systems maintenance. The commercial space has experienced some operational challenges, with multiple complaints about vacant storefronts in 2022 and 2023, though these violations were eventually abated. A minor exterior repair was needed in 2016 due to vehicle damage to the building's stucco.

The building's fire safety record shows several alarm activations between 2016 and 2023, all of which were either false alarms or unintentional activations, with no reported injuries or significant incidents. The property has undergone various accessibility and safety improvements over the years, including bathroom relocations, heating system upgrades, and the installation of an accessible entrance door with power operator. Recent activity in 2024 has primarily involved external maintenance issues such as garbage disposal concerns and parking violations in the vicinity, though these are not direct reflections on the building's condition or management. The building's systems have received regular attention, as evidenced by the multiple permits and inspections, suggesting proactive maintenance by the owners, though the frequency of commercial space-related violations indicates some challenges in maintaining storefront occupancy.

Risk rating

How 701-703 36Th Ave's risk score is calculated

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.
