Initial analysis

The 6-unit, 2-story apartment building at 3114 Taraval Street, built in 1957 and currently owned by Theresa Ah Ying Gee, has experienced a number of significant events throughout its history. Most recently, in May 2022, a fire violation was issued regarding smoke alarm requirements, though this was subsequently abated. The building underwent an electrical upgrade in April 2006 with a completed underground service conversion to 100 amp service and 7 meters on the ground floor. Several building-wide issues were documented in the early 2000s, including fire safety concerns (fire extinguisher recharges needed) and security/safety matters such as gas utility shutoff tool requirements and emergency exit concerns, all of which were resolved by May 2001. Between 2010 and 2023, there have been recurring sewer issues documented through multiple 311 calls, with reports of backups in 2015, 2017, and 2010 specifically mentioning 4-inch sewer vents. The building has also faced maintenance challenges including graffiti (2014, 2018, and 2009) and waste management issues, with the most recent complaints regarding general cleaning and loose garbage occurring in 2022 and 2023.

The property's history reveals a mix of resolved safety violations, primarily from the 2001-2003 period, and ongoing infrastructure challenges, particularly relating to sewer systems. The building has undergone some electrical system modernization, as evidenced by the 2006 permit, and experienced a smoke alarm compliance issue in 2022 that was addressed. While there have been no active violations or complaints in recent years, the frequency of sewer-related issues and maintenance concerns in the 311 call records may warrant attention to the building's infrastructure systems when considering its overall condition.

Risk rating

How 3114 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
