Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 70 Malta Drive in the Glen Park neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1976 and currently owned by Gouveia Carmel. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past few years, most notably concerning its rear decks. In November 2020, multiple complaints were filed regarding a collapsing deck that supports a fire escape, which led to a Notice of Violation (NOV) being issued in October 2021. To address this, a building permit was issued in February 2022 for a $50,000 project to replace the rear deck at second, ground, and basement floors and convert existing cantilever decks to simply supported structures with new structural posts. However, most recently in October 2024, another complaint was filed regarding the deck, suggesting potential ongoing concerns despite previous repairs.

The building has a history of unauthorized work, including an August 2017 complaint about an unpermitted water heater installation and interior remodeling work. More recent concerns include multiple reports of parking violations on the sidewalk between June and August 2024, and water main issues with two reports in December 2024. The property underwent a tenant buyout in March 2017 involving two tenants with a payment of $14,500, and there was a period of graffiti on the building in October 2021 that was subsequently addressed. The building's deck safety issues, in particular, appear to be a recurring concern, with violations and complaints extending over multiple years and continuing into 2024.

Risk rating

How 70 Malta Dr'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.
