Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 33-35 Woodland Avenue, built in 1907, is a duplex property located in the Parnassus/Ashbury Heights neighborhood, currently owned by Demarais Lowell Tr and containing two units. The building's maintenance and improvements history shows several significant upgrades, including a complete reroofing project in 2008 costing $6,280, a property front restoration in 1992, and the installation of new windows on the north property line in 1996. More recent upgrades include the replacement of the furnace in January 2014. The most recent building permit on record is from 2018 for street space usage.

The property has experienced recurring issues with illegal parking in the vicinity over the past year, particularly between January 2024 and April 2024, with multiple reports of vehicles blocking driveways and parking violations, though most of these incidents resulted in officers being unable to locate the offending vehicles. Only three citations were issued during this period, with several cases being marked as invalid due to incomplete reporting information. A smoke detector activation incident was recorded at the property, though it was determined to be unintentional and resulted in no civilian injuries. The building's documented history suggests regular maintenance and upgrading of essential systems, with no recorded structural or safety violations that would directly impact resident safety or comfort.

Risk rating

How 33-35 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
68th percentile

Out of 526 buildings in this neighborhood, 168 are predicted to be safer.
