Initial analysis

This two-unit multi-family residential building, located at 1349 3rd Avenue in the Inner Sunset neighborhood, was constructed in 1978 and is currently owned by Svetlana and James Greenberg. The property has undergone several notable improvements in recent years, particularly in 2018, when multiple window and door replacements were completed, including the installation of energy-efficient vinyl frames. During the same period, the electrical subpanel was replaced, though the permit has since expired, and a significant tenant buyout occurred in May 2018, involving three tenants and a payment of $61,424.78. The building has experienced some safety and maintenance issues over its history, with records showing unintentional smoke detector activations, an alarm system activation, and a contained cooking fire, though none of these incidents resulted in civilian injuries. There have been two significant sewer-related incidents, including flooding in 2014 and a sewage backup in 2015, both of which were resolved. The property has maintained regular window and door upgrades, transitioning from aluminum to vinyl frames in various locations.

The building's recent history (2021-2024) shows a pattern of external maintenance challenges, including graffiti incidents (most recently in December 2023), a water leak in 2021, and a pavement defect reported in October 2021. Historical records from 2018 document some infrastructure issues, including concerns with utility vaults, concrete curbs, and a damaged tree. The property has been responsive to maintenance needs, as evidenced by the completion of multiple improvement projects and prompt resolution of most maintenance issues. While the building has experienced various maintenance requests and external incidents, particularly relating to street conditions and graffiti, these events generally affect the property environment rather than the building's internal systems or structural integrity.

Risk rating

How 1349 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
82th percentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 269 are predicted to be safer.
