Initial analysis

The two-family residential building at 66-68 Malta Drive in Glen Park, owned by Alma Chew, is a 2-story flats and duplex structure built in 1976. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues in recent years, most notably in 2018 when unauthorized construction work was performed including concrete pouring at the front, side, and rear of the property. This work led to a complaint investigation and subsequent Notice of Violation (NOV) in October 2018, though the violation is now marked as not active. To address these violations, the owner completed proper permitting and remediation work in late 2018, including concrete work around the property (costing $15,000) and replacement of a rotted rear deck (costing $25,000).

The building's recent service records from 2024-2025 show various maintenance and compliance matters, including a sewer odor issue from the side sewer vent (resolved in November 2024), multiple reports of abandoned vehicles (two resulted in towing), and several parking enforcement calls. A rent board inquiry was received in November 2024 regarding fee housing inventory. The property appears to have recurring issues with parking and abandoned vehicles in the vicinity, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2024, though these are primarily street-related issues rather than building-specific problems. The most recent planning record from 2018 indicates completed mitigation of the 2018 violations related to pavement in front setback areas.

Risk rating

How 66-68 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.

Neighborhood percentile
