Initial analysis

Located in San Francisco's Outer Sunset neighborhood, 3731 Irving Street is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1948, currently owned by Xiao Tong & Chuck Tai Wong. The property has undergone several significant improvements over its lifetime, including a reroofing project in 2021 costing $18,000, installation of additional storage for lower and upper units in 2001, and completion of essential repairs including dry rot remediation at the base of stairs and window replacement in 1986. Historical records show the building has maintained compliance with building codes, as evidenced by a 1984 permit specifically for code compliance, though a reroofing permit from 1996 is listed as expired.

The property experienced a notable complaint in 2014 regarding a possible illegal in-law unit housing over ten people, though this case is currently marked as not active. Three routine housing inspections were conducted between 2000 and 2002, with all issues resolved. The building has been the subject of multiple parking-related incidents in recent years, particularly between 2019 and 2023, with numerous cases of driveway blocking leading to citations, though some were resolved without enforcement action. A routine issue with parking violations was partially addressed in 2020, and there was one report of an abandoned motorcycle in 2019 that was resolved when the vehicle was no longer present. The consistent pattern of parking enforcement actions suggests ongoing challenges with vehicular access to the property, though these incidents are primarily external to the building itself and relate to street parking enforcement.

Risk rating

How 3731 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.

Neighborhood percentile
30th percentile

Out of 632 buildings in this neighborhood, 442 are predicted to be safer.
