Initial analysis

The three-unit, two-story mixed-use building at 424-428 Taraval Street, constructed in 1946 and currently owned by CC Taraval LLC, has undergone several maintenance and compliance-related projects over the past two decades. Most recently, in 2024, there were complaints about unpermitted construction on the third floor, which resulted in building inspections regarding construction noise and work without proper permits. In 2019, an ADA compliance upgrade was completed at the entrance, and in 2016 significant structural work was performed including dry rot repairs, window replacements, and stucco crack repairs at a cost of $14,000. The building has faced several compliance issues requiring attention, including violations in 2007-2008 regarding an enclosed lightwell that was constructed without permits, and multiple complaints in 2012 concerning garbage can placement and egress obstructions. The ground floor commercial space has undergone various use changes over the years, transitioning from insurance office to beauty salon and later to a massage parlor, with several associated permit and compliance issues noted between 2004 and 2005 regarding unauthorized modifications and sign installations. Recent infrastructure maintenance includes backflow device installation (2022) and replacement of outdoor sign conduit (2005).

The property has experienced periodic maintenance issues, including sewer-related problems in 2024 (service requested) and 2015, along with instances of graffiti that were subsequently removed. Historical records show various electrical upgrades and repairs, including lighting installations and bathroom fan replacements between 2003-2005. The most significant recent activity involves the 2024 complaints about unauthorized construction work, which were resolved by July 2024. The building has a history of addressing maintenance and compliance issues, as evidenced by the completion of various building permits and resolution of multiple violations, though some past issues regarding commercial space usage and modifications appear to have required multiple interventions before resolution.

Risk rating

How 424-428 Taraval 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.
