Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 3015 Balboa Street in the Central Richmond neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure constructed in 1954, currently owned by Harry Q Chang & Marian Rev. The building's maintenance history shows a reroofing project undertaken in 2015 at a cost of $5,200, and aluminum window installations completed in 1990.

Recent activity around the property in 2024 has primarily involved external issues rather than building-specific problems. Notably, there was a resolved case of a fallen tree reported in December 2024. The most significant ongoing concern appears to be regarding parking enforcement, with multiple reports of abandoned vehicles between August and December 2024, though all were resolved with the vehicles being gone upon inspection. There remains one open case from August 2024 regarding garbage and debris on the street or sidewalk. The building's recorded history suggests regular maintenance of structural elements like roofing and windows, while the immediate neighborhood has experienced recurring issues with abandoned vehicles and street cleaning that are being addressed through appropriate city departments.

Risk rating

How 3015 Balboa St'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.
