Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 744-746 37th Avenue in San Francisco's Outer Richmond district is a two-story flats and duplex structure owned by Ryan Calica and constructed in 1963. The property has undergone several window replacement projects over the past two decades, with the most recent occurring in December 2016 involving the installation of four vinyl windows in the rear of the building, following a previous 2010 project that replaced four street-visible windows with vinyl double-pane options. The building experienced a sewer-related incident in October 2014 with a sewage backup from a 4-inch vent that was subsequently resolved, and in July 2019, there was a report of a damaged side sewer vent cover, though inspectors found no issues. More recent concerns have primarily involved external matters rather than building conditions, including various parking-related incidents - a tow-related complaint in June 2023 and an abandoned vehicle case in May 2021 that resulted in towing due to expired registration. The property has also experienced some municipal service issues, such as an overflowing city garbage can (December 2020) and a damaged sewer vent cover (July 2019), though both cases were resolved. The building's maintenance record shows regular attention to window replacements and prompt responses to sewer-related issues, while most recent incidents have been related to exterior and neighborhood matters rather than structural or maintenance concerns within the building itself.

Risk rating

How 744-746 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.
