Initial analysis

The property at 3521-3523 Judah Street in San Francisco's Outer Sunset neighborhood is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1947, currently owned by Larisa Pavolotsky. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past decades, with the most recent major work completed in 2019 involving the removal of plastic siding from the building's front, repairs to cracked and leaking stucco, and remediation of minor dry rot at the back, where new Hardiplank siding was installed at a cost of $12,000. Earlier improvements from 1989 included the installation of vinyl siding and reroofing work. The building's infrastructure has received attention, with a gas line connection and flue modification completed in February 2015 during a furnace change-out.

The property has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent being an open pavement defect report from June 2023. Previous reports include a resolved case from May 2018 regarding a missing side sewer vent cover and two pavement defects reported in November 2017, all of which were addressed by city agencies. The building's exterior environment has faced some cosmetic challenges, including incidents of graffiti in 2017, both on street poles and a street lamp, which were subsequently resolved through city intervention. While these incidents reflect periodic maintenance needs and environmental factors affecting the property, they have mostly been addressed promptly through appropriate channels. The building's maintenance history suggests regular upkeep, with the most substantial improvements being concentrated in recent years, particularly regarding external siding and structural integrity.

Risk rating

How 3521-3523 Judah 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.
