Initial analysis

The property at 867 35th Avenue in San Francisco's Outer Richmond district is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1914, currently owned by Lee Shew Wai and Siu Yuk Lee. The building has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, including complete window replacement in March 2023 ($17,000), reroofing in August 2022 ($23,800), and a comprehensive plumbing upgrade in September 2024 that involved replacing galvanized pipes with copper throughout the building and updating the water heater. Historical records show consistent maintenance, with past projects including staircase repairs and rear window modifications in 2016, and maintenance of outdoor structures like the patio door and siding.

The property has experienced some maintenance issues over the years, notably two sewage backup incidents in August and October 2018, both of which were resolved. There have been multiple instances of driveway-related parking enforcement calls, most recently in March 2024, suggesting ongoing parking challenges in the area. The building's exterior has faced some challenges with adjacent trees, with reports of damage and fallen trees in 2022-2023. The recent structural and infrastructural improvements, particularly the plumbing upgrade and window replacement, indicate active maintenance and investment in the property's upkeep, while the recent completion of tree-related issues in October 2023 suggests these environmental factors have been addressed.

Risk rating

How 867 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
95th percentile

Out of 1040 buildings in this neighborhood, 52 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Notices of Violation, owner's portfolio

DBI NOVs across all buildings this owner is registered on — a signal of systemic maintenance issues across the portfolio.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 84.3%
Moderate concern 13.2%
Severe concern 2.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
