Initial analysis

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 3340-3342 Taraval Street in San Francisco's Outer Parkside neighborhood is a two-story structure built in 1957, currently owned by Chio Kam Wa. The building has undergone several significant renovations over the past few decades, with the most recent and substantial work occurring in late 2015, when the second floor received a comprehensive remodel of the kitchen and bathroom facilities, including the addition of new lighting, outlets, and appliance installations at a cost of $30,800. This 2015 renovation project included both plumbing and electrical work, with the electrical upgrade notably involving the installation of extensive new fixtures and safety features including smoke detectors.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to both structural and aesthetic elements, including window replacements and exterior work. In 2006, the electrical system underwent an underground service conversion to a 150-amp system with two meters. Historical permits from the 1990s indicate various renovation projects, including kitchen and bathroom removals, partition wall modifications, and stucco repairs. More recent issues relevant to resident experience include a sidewalk defect reported in May 2023, which involved a collapsed sidewalk and damage to utility infrastructure that was ultimately resolved. Other minor incidents, such as a graffiti report in January 2019 and an unverified parking complaint in October 2019, were also documented and resolved.

Risk rating

How 3340-3342 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.
