Initial analysis

The building at 3419-3421 Taraval Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential structure located in San Francisco's Outer Parkside neighborhood, built in 1948 and currently owned by the Walsh Family Trust. The property has undergone several significant maintenance activities over the years, including multiple roofing projects in 1995 and 2002 (with the 2002 project costing approximately $11,165), electrical system upgrades in 2003 with a 100-amp service change, and the installation of an outdoor backyard light in 2018. The building experienced a series of electrical and lighting issues between 2007 and 2008, resulting in multiple violations related to inadequate lighting, light fixtures, and overcurrent device access, all of which were ultimately abated by February 2018.

The property has documented heating system concerns, with complaints about an inadequate furnace and heating unit in 2007 and 2018, respectively. In 2021, a complaint was filed regarding a safety issue with SFMTA platform placement affecting egress. Recent maintenance records from 2024 show some ongoing property management challenges, including a sewage backup incident in November 2024, reports of garbage and debris (including a refrigerator) that were resolved by city services, and a tree potentially damaging the building's window or structure. Three fire-related incidents have been recorded, including a biological hazard situation, elevator rescue, and smoke detector activation, none of which resulted in civilian injuries. The building's maintenance history suggests regular upkeep with periodic electrical and heating system concerns, and while most historical violations have been resolved, there are recent indications of continuing maintenance requirements.

Risk rating

How 3419-3421 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.
