Initial analysis

The 8-unit multi-family residential building at 3855 Irving Street in the Outer Sunset, owned by Quan Bypass Trust, was constructed in 1933 and has undergone several significant maintenance and infrastructure upgrades over the years. Most recently, in 2014, the building received a substantial electrical system upgrade including the replacement of a 400-amp disconnect and nine meter boxes, demonstrating attention to critical infrastructure maintenance. Historical records show various maintenance activities, including an accessible walkway and stair repair project in 2004 ($30,000), reroofing work in 1992, and multiple bathroom inspections and repairs in the 1980s addressing dry rot issues. A notable incident occurred in September 1998 when there was a sewage backup affecting multiple units, though this was resolved by October 1998. The building has had routine inspections by Housing Inspection Services in 1998, 2001, and most recently in 2018, which revealed some maintenance issues such as improper garbage bin placement and an unpermitted shed construction.

The property has experienced various maintenance and compliance issues, though most are historical in nature. The 1998 sewage incident remains the most significant resident impact event on record, but since then, the building has undergone various infrastructure improvements suggesting proactive management. Recent years have seen multiple reports regarding garbage and debris on the property (2020-2024), though these appear to be street-level issues rather than building-specific concerns. The most recent building-related service requests primarily involve parking violations and sidewalk maintenance issues, with the most recent inspection-related activity being the 2018 complaint about garbage bins and an unpermitted shed. The property's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing structural and safety concerns as they arise, with particular attention to stairways and electrical systems over the years.

Risk rating

How 3855 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

Out of 632 buildings in this neighborhood, 588 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 25.9%
Moderate concern 28.1%
Severe concern 46.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
