AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 3844-3846 Irving Street in San Francisco's Outer Sunset neighborhood underwent significant transformations in recent years, most notably in 2018-2020, when major improvements were implemented to enhance safety and living conditions. In 2018, comprehensive renovations were carried out including the legalization of a new dwelling unit (Unit C) on the ground floor with two bedrooms, kitchen, living room, and bathroom, followed by kitchen and bathroom relocations and additions of bedrooms and bathrooms on the second and third floors, along with the installation of three new skylights. These improvements were accompanied by necessary mechanical work, including the relocation of furnaces on the second and third floors.

Of particular importance was the comprehensive fire safety upgrade completed in 2020, which included the installation of a new fire sprinkler system throughout the building, covering both floors and the common stairway, along with a dedicated fire service connection and a sprinkler monitoring system. The building's safety infrastructure was further enhanced through associated plumbing and electrical work related to these sprinkler installations. More recently, in August 2024, there was one notable issue requiring attention when illegal parking situations occurred near the property, resulting in multiple citations being issued for vehicles blocking driveways and parking on sidewalks. Additionally, there was a fire alarm system complaint in August 2024 that was resolved by October 2024 with the condition corrected. The property's historical records also show earlier improvements including deck repair work in 2012, and exterior renovations in 1999 and 1988, such as vinyl siding installation and aluminum window replacements, demonstrating the ongoing maintenance and upgrading of the building over time.

Risk rating

How 3844-3846 Irving 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.
