AI summary

The 36-38 Ord Street property in Corona Heights is a three-story, multi-family residential building consisting of two units, constructed in 1902 and currently owned by the Cobarrubias-deeks Living Trust. The building underwent significant renovation in 2007-2008, including a $411,000 project to add a third story and a new garage, along with the conversion of the two existing units into a single-unit space, which involved substantial electrical and plumbing work throughout the building. More recent improvements include the installation of steel and glass guardrails in 2019 to replace damaged wood guardrails, with a cost of $20,000. The property has also seen sustainable upgrades, including the installation of solar panels in 2015, though this permit is now expired.

Recent municipal service calls (2020-2025) have primarily concerned parking violations, with multiple reports of blocked driveways between 2022-2024, resulting in several citations. There are also two recent issues requiring attention: a damaged tree reported in January 2025 (status: open) and illegal parking on the sidewalk in May 2024. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to building safety and updates, with particular focus on addressing structural issues like dry rot and upgrading safety features. The property appears to be actively managed, with most major renovation work completed between 2007 and 2019, and only routine maintenance and safety concerns recorded in recent years.

Risk rating

How 36-38 Ord 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
75th percentile

Out of 348 buildings in this neighborhood, 87 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 69.7%
Moderate concern 17.2%
Severe concern 13.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
