Initial analysis

The property at 875-877 36th Avenue is a two-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1948, currently owned by Marietta Escalona 2020 Revo. The building has undergone several significant renovations over the past decade, with the most substantial recent work occurring between 2022-2024, including the legalization of a ground floor unit as an ADU under the state program, and comprehensive interior remodels of the second and third-floor kitchens and bathrooms. Current construction activity has generated complaints from neighbors about ongoing loud construction noise since July 2024, with a formal complaint filed in December 2024 regarding the duration and disruption of the work.

The building has a history of compliance issues that have been addressed, including the removal of an illegal in-law unit in 2014-2015 and several window replacements completed in 2014. Recent improvements include the addition of new bathrooms, kitchen remodels, and electrical upgrades, with the most recent permits showing work related to bathroom and kitchen renovations, furnace installation, and electric load improvements expected to complete by late 2024. The property has experienced some parking-related issues in the vicinity, with multiple reports of blocked driveways and sidewalk parking between 2023-2024, though these are external to the building itself and handled by city enforcement.

Risk rating

How 875-877 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.

Neighborhood percentile
96th percentile

Out of 1040 buildings in this neighborhood, 42 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.

Property class: single-family home

Single-family homes (class A) have distinct violation and complaint patterns from multi-family buildings.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 91.8%
Moderate concern 6.2%
Severe concern 2.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
