Initial analysis

874 36th Avenue is a two-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Outer Richmond neighborhood, owned by Wang Yiding and Sze Oimui. The century-old property was originally constructed in 1919 and features two stories. The building has undergone several documented improvements over the years, including bathroom tile renovations in 2005 and 2007 (each approximately $600-$1000), and a horizontal addition completed in 1989.

The property has experienced several infrastructure-related events in recent months, with a notable sewage back-up discharge reported in November 2024 that was resolved by the Public Utilities Commission. A routine building inspection was conducted in October 2024, though the specific findings are not detailed in the available records. The building's immediate vicinity has seen multiple reports of garbage and debris issues throughout 2024, with three separate incidents in October 2024 alone, along with several parking enforcement calls for blocked driveways and sidewalk parking. While many of these issues were promptly addressed and resolved by relevant city agencies, including the Department of Public Works and Recology, they suggest ongoing challenges with maintenance and enforcement in the immediate area. A graffiti incident on a signal box was reported and resolved in May 2024, and a general cleaning request in February 2024 resulted in no findings.

Risk rating

How 874 36Th 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.
