Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 737 35th Avenue in San Francisco's Outer Richmond neighborhood, owned by Kwong & Shiu Wong Bypass Tr, was constructed in 1993 following the demolition of a previous single-family dwelling on the site. The three-story flats/duplex structure, completed in 1993, has undergone several significant improvements over the years, including a complete reroofing project in September 2023 costing $19,900, and the installation of an 80% efficient furnace in March 2021. Earlier modifications included an attempt in 1994 to revise structural drawings and relocate bedrooms and bathrooms, though this permit ultimately expired.

The property has experienced various maintenance and infrastructure issues over the past few years, with the most notable being a sewage back-up incident in October 2024 that required attention from the PUC Sewer Operations. While the building's major systems appear to be receiving necessary upgrades, as evidenced by the recent reroofing and furnace installation, there have been numerous parking-related incidents near the property, particularly between 2022 and 2024. These included multiple cases of driveway blocking that led to citations, double parking, and illegal parking incidents, suggesting ongoing challenges with street parking in the area. Additionally, there was a pavement defect reported in July 2022 that required attention from the Department of Public Works. The building's permit history shows appropriate use and maintenance of its multi-family residential designation since its construction, with most recent improvements focusing on infrastructure maintenance and system upgrades.

Risk rating

How 737 35Th 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
