Initial analysis

This two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building, located at 1406 36th Avenue in the Central Sunset neighborhood, was constructed in 1945 and is currently owned by Rosanna Choy. The building has undergone some maintenance work in recent years, including a $12,000 reroofing project completed in October 2021, which represents the most significant building improvement on record. The property has experienced various street-level issues typical of urban environments, with multiple 311 calls between 2017 and 2024 primarily related to street cleaning and maintenance matters. While these calls indicate some neighborhood upkeep challenges, most were resolved promptly: including cases of loose garbage (July 2023), horticultural concerns (June 2024), and issues with abandoned vehicles (September 2021). The building's immediate vicinity has seen two notable graffiti incidents in 2017 and 2021, both of which were resolved. Recent activity in 2024 includes three service calls, primarily focused on urban maintenance issues such as street cleaning and abandoned furniture, though these calls were generally resolved with no significant findings.

The property's permit history remains minimal, with only one street space permit from 2014 and the aforementioned reroofing work from 2021 being the most substantial building-related improvement on record. The recurring nature of street cleaning and maintenance requests suggests ongoing attention to the building's immediate surroundings, though most reported issues have been addressed by the relevant city agencies. Notably, there have been no reported safety concerns or building-related complaints in recent years, and the property appears to be well-maintained in terms of basic infrastructure, as evidenced by the completed roof work.

Risk rating

How 1406 36Th 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
79th percentile

Out of 814 buildings in this neighborhood, 171 are predicted to be safer.
