Initial analysis

The 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1325 3rd Ave in the Inner Sunset, built in 1912, has undergone several significant safety improvements in recent years. Most notably, in April 2023, both the fire alarm system upgrade was completed ($17,400) and the modification of the existing system to meet current fire safety standards, including the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas. The building had a fire safety issue in 2016 with blocked exits, which was promptly corrected within five days, indicating responsive management to safety concerns. Recent maintenance includes a canceled wall furnace replacement permit from 2018 and a partial water pipe replacement in 2012 for apartment #5.

Historical records show the building faced multiple violations in 2005, all of which were addressed by May 23, 2005, including issues with self-closing devices at exterior doors and fire proofing materials. Routine housing inspections have been conducted regularly, with the most recent active inspection filed in October 2022. The property has experienced minimal issues outside of regular maintenance and safety upgrades, with minor incidents recorded through 311 calls including illegal parking (2023), graffiti (2017), and general cleaning needs (2012). A reroofing project from 1999 is listed as expired in the permit records, though it's likely this work was completed given its age.

Risk rating

How 1325 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.

Neighborhood percentile
41th percentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 881 are predicted to be safer.
