Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1379 3rd Avenue in the Inner Sunset, owned by Wydler Aton, has a storied history since its construction in 1911. Recent years have seen multiple concerning incidents, with significant complaints emerging in 2023-2024 regarding unpermitted construction activities, including jackhammering and the removal of a fire wall. These complaints appear to be connected to an ongoing dispute about the building's proper use, as evidenced by an active housing complaint filed in 1999 regarding unauthorized boarding house operations, which culminated in a Board of Permit Appeals hearing in 2002 that resulted in a decision allowing for three units. The building has experienced recurring safety incidents, particularly related to carbon monoxide detector activations, with four documented cases between 2021-2024, though fortunately none resulted in civilian injuries or confirmed CO presence. Historical records show foundation repairs were completed in 1999 and reroofing work was attempted in 1998, though that permit expired.

The property has generated numerous service calls in recent months, primarily regarding illegal parking violations, with at least eight such incidents reported between November and December 2024. A building inspection complaint was filed in November 2024, though it was determined to be outside DBI's jurisdiction. The most recent issues include an April 2024 fire complaint that was referred to DBI, and a series of 311 calls between November 2024 and December 2024 regarding various municipal matters, including illegal postings and environmental concerns. While the building has undergone some maintenance work in the past, the recent pattern of complaints and safety incidents suggests ongoing challenges with unauthorized modifications and compliance with building codes.

Risk rating

How 1379 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.
