Initial analysis

The Chu Family Trust 2007 owns this two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Outer Richmond district. Built in 1964, the property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most recent notable upgrade being the window replacement project in October 2015, where four street-facing windows were installed with improved energy efficiency ratings (U-factor = 0.32) at a cost of $6,000. Earlier improvements include a comprehensive bathroom remodeling and kitchen counter replacement project completed in 1995, though a roofing permit from the same year expired without completion records.

Recent resident concerns have primarily revolved around parking issues, with multiple reports of sidewalk parking in 2019 and driveway blocking incidents more recently, including a November 2023 complaint that was unable to be verified by responding officers. The building's mechanical equipment generated a noise complaint in August 2020, though authorities were unable to pinpoint the source. In the utility domain, there was a water-related customer callback in June 2021, for which the response directed residents to contact PUC directly. While a blue curb request was properly routed to the appropriate department in 2016, most external service calls have been related to parking enforcement matters. The property's documented history shows regular maintenance and upgrades, with all permitted improvements being properly completed according to records, maintaining compliance with city regulations.

Risk rating

How 747-749 34Th 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, 135 are predicted to be safer.
