Initial analysis

The property at 3621 Taraval Street is a one-story, two-unit multi-family residential building with a store component, constructed in 1956 and currently owned by the August Paul Marino 2016 Trust. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, including a complete reroofing project in 1990 and an electrical system upgrade in 2006 involving an underground service conversion with 200 amp, 2-meter setup. More recently, a gas leak incident was documented, though no civilian injuries were reported.

The property has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues over the past few years, with the most recent being a sidewalk defect case in November 2024 involving unpermitted excavation and noncompliance with travel paths. The building has faced multiple driveway blocking incidents between 2020 and 2023, resulting in citations for offending vehicles. A series of maintenance and service calls were recorded in 2020, including a missing sewer vent cover, empty tree basin issue (still open as of 2020), and graffiti on the commercial portion of the building. While many of these issues were resolved through appropriate channels, the sidewalk defect case and empty tree basin matter are notable exceptions. The building's permit history suggests regular maintenance, though completion of some electrical permits from 2005-2006 appears to be incomplete or expired.

Risk rating

How 3621 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
