Initial analysis

The 730-732 37th Avenue property is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Outer Richmond neighborhood. Built in 1927 and currently owned by M2 Realty Properties LLC, this flats and duplex building has experienced several significant maintenance and infrastructure updates over recent years. Most notably, there was substantial renovation work in 2018, including the installation of two direct vent natural gas fireplaces and associated gas lines, indicating an improvement in energy efficiency and comfort. The building underwent electrical system upgrades in 2014, including a 200-amp service upgrade with three meters and panels, along with kitchen rewiring improvements in one of the units. Several plumbing modifications have been performed, including washer and laundry sink relocations in 2015 and kitchen sink drainage improvements in 2014.

The property has experienced recurrent sewer system issues, with documented sewage back-ups in July-October 2020 from a 4-inch vent, and most recently in July 2024. Structural maintenance work included wall repairs in 2013 and various interior improvements in 2014, suggesting ongoing attention to building upkeep. The building has had multiple driveway blocking incidents requiring parking enforcement intervention in recent years (2022-2024), though these are external to the building's condition. A cluster of permits from 1999-2001 for various work were all ultimately expired without record of completion. While the property experienced one fire incident recorded as a false alarm or call, there were no civilian injuries reported. The building's maintenance history suggests regular upkeep, though the recurring sewer issues may warrant attention to this system.

Risk rating

How 730-732 37Th 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.
