Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2590-2592 35th Avenue in the Parkside neighborhood, owned by Lee Edwin Wai, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1957. The property has undergone several significant renovations over the past three decades, most notably a kitchen and bathroom remodel on the second floor in 2014 (with associated electrical and plumbing work costing $35,000), and a ground floor expansion in 2003 that added a bedroom, full bathroom, and laundry room (with electrical work including a dryer outlet installation). The building's infrastructure improvements include a roofing project completed in 1988, and more recent electrical upgrades in 2022 when a small sub-panel and new circuit were installed in the garage.

Recent maintenance and service calls from the past year (2024-2025) show ongoing attention to neighborhood concerns, with multiple reports of street-related issues including garbage, debris, and parking violations, though most of these cases were resolved promptly. There was one open issue regarding a damaged tree with a hanging limb reported in December 2024. The building has experienced two fire department responses for smoke detector activation and a service call, neither resulting in civilian injuries. While there have been two tenant buyout transactions recorded at the nearby address of 2620 35th Avenue in late 2021, these occurred at a different property and involve different tenants than those in the subject building.

Risk rating

How 2590-2592 35Th 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
65th percentile

Out of 255 buildings in this neighborhood, 89 are predicted to be safer.
