Initial analysis

The two-story, four-unit apartment building at 3522 Taraval Street in the Outer Parkside neighborhood was built in 1957 and is currently owned by the Antonis Living Trust. The property has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in 2022. This included multiple violations related to plumbing and electrical systems, interior surfaces, and fire safety, with issues ranging from faulty heaters and improper water temperatures to problems with window hardware and fire escape ladders. All these violations were officially abated by August 19, 2022. More recent complaints from 2023 have addressed maintenance issues such as moldy caulking, problems with fixtures, and various unit repairs, though these were resolved between May and October 2023.

The building's maintenance history shows some recurring themes, including plumbing and heating system issues, with permits indicating work on wall heaters in 2022 and historical problems with hot water (noted in a 2012 complaint about rusty water and inadequate heating). Structural and safety improvements have been attempted over the years, including garage door modifications in 2000, electrical upgrades in 2005, and a new roof installation in 2001. Two exits were reportedly blocked in February 2013, but these complaints were determined to have "No Merit." The property has undergone several routine inspections and responded to various tenant complaints, including an incident in 2008 involving odor issues between units. While the building has maintained basic compliance with housing codes, the history of maintenance complaints suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and fixtures, particularly affecting resident comfort and convenience.

Risk rating

How 3522 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.
