Initial analysis

The two-story multi-family residential building at 2034-2036 Taraval Street, located in San Francisco's Parkside neighborhood, was constructed in 1951 and includes three residential units along with commercial space, all under the ownership of Siobhan Johnston. The building's maintenance history shows some significant attention to basic infrastructure, including a complete reroofing project in 1989 and a 100-amp electrical service underground conversion initiated in 2005, though this electrical permit is now listed as expired.

Recent building history from 2010 to 2024 reveals periodic maintenance challenges, particularly with street cleanliness and surface conditions. The property has been the subject of multiple 311 calls between 2022 and 2024, primarily relating to garbage and debris on the street, including instances of electronics disposal and general cleaning needs. A notable infrastructure issue occurred in 2015 when a city-maintained tree uprooted the sidewalk at both 2048 and 2036 Taraval, creating a collapse hazard that required attention. Other exterior maintenance concerns included a graffiti incident in 2022, which occurred during a period of relaxed enforcement due to COVID-19, and an abandoned vehicle complaint from 2019 that was resolved when the vehicle was no longer present. Historical records from previous years show occasional reports of hazardous materials (2012) and various street cleaning needs, suggesting ongoing attention is required for maintaining the surrounding public space.

Risk rating

How 2034-2036 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.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 255 buildings in this neighborhood, 153 are predicted to be safer.
