AI summary

The property at 546-548 Taraval Street is a two-story, multi-family residential building constructed in 1945, currently containing three residential units with an attached commercial space, owned by Ku Bean-jiang & Xiao Hong S. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, most notably the recent installation of an ADA-compliant front entrance ramp in December 2020, completed at a cost of $8,000, which shows responsiveness to disability access requirements. Earlier improvements include reroofing work in 2014 ($5,000), substantial renovation of store and bathroom areas in 2001 ($15,000), and important maintenance work in 2000 including dry rot repairs and window replacements ($10,000).

The building has experienced recurring issues with illegal postings on its exterior, with the most recent incident recorded in November 2024, though these have all been resolved through appropriate channels. There were also three instances of graffiti reported between 2010 and 2015, all of which were addressed through normal resolution processes. The property has maintained compliance with necessary regulations, as evidenced by the successful completion of the ADA ramp project, which was documented in the Planning Records as part of the ABE compliance requirements. While historical street space permits were issued in 2000-2001, these have since expired and are no longer active. The building's maintenance record suggests regular attention to structural and safety requirements, with particular focus on both accessibility improvements and routine upkeep of building systems.

Risk rating

How 546-548 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.
