Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 536 Taraval Street in the Inner Parkside neighborhood, owned by Cheuk W & Polly C Lee Revoc Trust, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1945. The property's maintenance record shows several significant repairs and enhancements, with the most recent being exterior dry rot stucco repairs completed in May 2024 at a cost of $3,500, specifically addressing issues above the garage on the left front side of the property. Earlier structural improvements include foundation bolting work completed in 2002, though the initial permit for this project expired and required renewal. The building's systems have received attention as well, with a gas houseline extension completed in June 2019.

The property's external environment experienced an incident of vandalism in February 2020, when an offensive graffiti complaint was filed with the Department of Public Works, though this was resolved and closed. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing attention to both structural and exterior upkeep, with no recorded safety violations or building code infractions in recent years. The most substantial work has focused on addressing dry rot issues and maintaining foundational integrity, while the 311 call regarding graffiti represents the only non-maintenance-related incident on record.

Risk rating

How 536 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.
