Initial analysis

The property at 347 Upper Terrace is a 3-story, 2-unit multi-family residential building located in the Buena Vista Park neighborhood, constructed in 1966 and currently owned by the Engelbrecht Survivor's Trust. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past two decades, with the most concerning recent events occurring in late 2024-early 2025, including multiple reports of garbage and debris, graffiti, and a sewage-related incident in January 2025. Building maintenance records show efforts to address structural issues, with permits issued in 2017 for replacing weathered shingles and repairing water-damaged sheetrock, along with a completed plumbing permit for sewer line repairs including the replacement of 6 feet of cast iron pipe and installation of a cleanout.

The building has a history of plumbing and drainage issues, as evidenced by a serious sewage problem in 2000 that required inspection and intervention, and a fence maintenance violation in 2008 that was promptly addressed. The most recent permits from 2017 suggest attention to building envelope maintenance and interior repairs, though the recent spate of 311 calls regarding the property's exterior conditions indicates ongoing challenges with property maintenance in the surrounding area. The property's history shows a pattern of plumbing-related issues, though recent maintenance work suggests attempts to address these longstanding concerns, while the recent graffiti and debris incidents appear more related to the neighborhood environment than the building's specific condition.

Risk rating

How 347 Upper Ter'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
