Initial analysis

The property at 30 Woodland Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1904, currently owned by the Puknys-Kavanagh Living Trust. The most significant recent work on the property has been a complete re-roofing project in October 2024, costing $26,400, though this represents normal maintenance rather than an improvement. The building has undergone several major renovation proposals over the years, most notably a comprehensive dormer addition project that was approved and included work on both north and south slopes, installation of skylights, deck modifications, and fire escape extension, though it is unclear from the records whether all elements were fully constructed.

The property has a history of multiple permit finalization efforts between 2014-2015, suggesting earlier renovation work required additional inspections and confirmation of completion. More recent issues have centered around tree-related concerns, with multiple reports (2022-2024) regarding tree roots lifting adjacent sidewalks, which remain unresolved as of the latest reports. The building appears to have undergone some significant systems upgrades over the years, with plumbing and electrical work recorded in 2010-2011, though many of these permits became expired and required subsequent reopenings or renewals for final inspections in 2014-2015.

Risk rating

How 30 Woodland 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
62th percentile

Out of 526 buildings in this neighborhood, 200 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.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Building age

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

Property class: multi-family flat

2–4 unit flats (class F) are a common SF building type with their own maintenance and complaint patterns.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 59.9%
Moderate concern 15.9%
Severe concern 24.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
