Initial analysis

The property at 887-889 37th Avenue in San Francisco's Outer Richmond neighborhood is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1945 and currently owned by the Margarita B Sheremeteff Trust. The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep, with the most recent significant work being a completed reroofing project in October 2023 costing $13,700. Previous improvements include a comprehensive kitchen and bathroom renovation in 2012 (including plumbing and electrical upgrades) costing $18,000, and historical records indicate various maintenance work including window replacement in 1986 and attention to rear building safety features in 2002, although the latter permit expired before completion.

The property has experienced recurring issues with parking violations in the immediate vicinity, with a particular concentration of incidents in 2024 involving vehicles parking on sidewalks or blocking driveways, though enforcement officers were often unable to validate the reported violations or locate the offending vehicles. A total of nine parking enforcement calls have been made between 2020 and 2024, with at least two resulting in citations, including a documented parking violation involving a white BMW i3 in November 2023 and a white Acura in March 2024. While these parking issues are notable, they appear to be related to street regulation enforcement rather than building-specific concerns, and the property's maintenance record shows consistent attention to structural and safety improvements over the decades.

Risk rating

How 887-889 37Th 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
76th percentile

Out of 1040 buildings in this neighborhood, 250 are predicted to be safer.
