Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 3716-3718 Taraval Street, located in San Francisco's Outer Parkside neighborhood, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1948 and currently owned by Soledad Alejandra McCarthy. The property's maintenance history shows several significant improvements over the years, including a complete window replacement project in 2004 (replacing 8 windows with white vinyl), stucco repairs and repainting in 2005, and more recently, the installation of a new 40-gallon water heater in 2021. A notable electrical upgrade was completed in 2005 with an underground service conversion and 200-amp service upgrade with two existing meters.

Recent activity around the property (2023-2025) has primarily involved street-level issues rather than building-specific concerns. There have been multiple 311 calls regarding street cleaning, garbage debris, and parking enforcement matters, including several cases of blocking driveways and sidewalk parking, with at least two vehicles receiving citations. The building had a hoarding complaint filed in August 2020, which was referred to the Department of Public Health and closed in December 2020. The property has maintained compliance with basic infrastructure requirements, as evidenced by the properly documented building permits and completed work, though the water heater installation represents the most recent major system upgrade.

Risk rating

How 3716-3718 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 207 buildings in this neighborhood, 85 are predicted to be safer.
