Initial analysis

The three-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 3031-3035 Taraval Street, situated in the Outer Parkside neighborhood and built in 1952, is currently owned by Lee Pak Yat & Ao Man Cheng. The property has a documented history of regular maintenance and infrastructure updates, including two reroofing projects (in 1990 and most recently in 2016 at a cost of $8,000), a gas pipe replacement in units 3033 and 3035 in 2008, and an attempted conversion from overhead to underground electrical service in 2005, though that permit expired without completion. A notable incident in 2017 involved two fire complaints regarding illegal occupancy and an uncategorized complaint, both of which were referred to the Department of Building Inspection and closed by May 2017. More recently, in late 2019, there was a period of non-compliance with the vacant storefront ordinance that was resolved by January 2020.

The most significant recent activity around the property has been a series of municipal service calls in late 2024, with multiple complaints regarding garbage and debris on the street and sidewalk, particularly in October and November 2024, when five such incidents were recorded and resolved. There were also two graffiti incidents reported and resolved in late 2024, including one on the property's sidewalk. Two transit shelter damage reports were filed in December 2024, though one remains open while the other was scheduled for resolution. These recent issues related to street cleaning and graffiti, while not directly affecting building safety or maintenance, do indicate an ongoing challenge with neighborhood upkeep.

Risk rating

How 3031-3035 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.
