Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2410-2412 38th Avenue in San Francisco's Outer Parkside neighborhood, owned by Ma Amy, is a 2-story flats and duplex structure built in 1945. The property experienced significant safety issues in mid-2004, when multiple violations were filed against the building related to unsafe and rotted rear stairs, which were deemed both a public nuisance and an important safety concern due to being a secondary egress. These violations, documented as complaint number 200451065, led to an abatement process initiated on June 18, 2004, with Notice of Violations issued on June 21 and August 2, 2004, though the issues were ultimately resolved with the completion of stair replacement work valued at $12,000 by October 20, 2004.

More recently, the building underwent gas houseline extension work in November 2021, as evidenced by two completed plumbing permits. The property has had some minor issues documented through 311 calls between 2013 and 2024, primarily related to street parking concerns, including reports of an abandoned vehicle and a vehicle allegedly parked on the sidewalk, though these were not directly related to the building's condition or safety. The building's records indicate that all major safety violations from 2004 were properly addressed and resolved, with no active violations or complaints on record in recent years.

Risk rating

How 2410-2412 38Th Ave'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, 23 are predicted to be safer.
