Initial analysis

The property at 1236-1238 3rd Avenue in the Inner Sunset is a two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1908, containing three units and owned by Andrew Ogus and Pete Bullard. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and upgrade projects over the years, with the most recent major work being a sewer replacement completed in September 2020. In 2011, the building received a comprehensive HVAC upgrade with the replacement of five furnaces, followed by electrical work to connect these new systems across multiple units. The property has experienced some environmental concerns, most notably a mold complaint filed in December 2016, though this issue was marked as "Not Active" in Housing Inspection Services.

The building's recent history shows a pattern of parking-related issues around the property, particularly between 2022 and 2023, with multiple complaints about sidewalk parking and blocked driveways, resulting in citations and official responses from parking enforcement. There have also been instances of street cleanliness concerns, with the most recent being an open garbage and debris complaint from September 2024. Historical records show several routine inspections by Housing Inspection Services dating back to 1996, with the only notable issue being the 2016 mold complaint. While the building has received regular maintenance and upgrades, particularly in the area of heating systems and sewer infrastructure, the concentration of recent parking violations suggests ongoing challenges with street-access compliance in the surrounding area.

Risk rating

How 1236-1238 3Rd 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.
