Initial analysis

The three-story, four-unit apartment building at 31-33 Ramona Avenue in Mission Dolores, owned by Giraudo Trust, was constructed in 1914 and has undergone several significant renovations and faced various maintenance challenges over the years. Most recently, in early 2023, the building completed substantial improvements including kitchen and bathroom remodels in units 31 and 33, with associated electrical and plumbing work totaling $90,000. The property has a notable history of plumbing and maintenance issues, particularly highlighted by active violations from 2005 that remain unresolved, including problems with tubs/showers, sinks, lighting, and gas utility requirements. These violations were triggered by a complaint about severe leaks, inadequate lighting, and an uninspected rear deck. The building has had some structural improvements, including window replacements in 2011 when 36 windows were upgraded, and roofing work completed in both 1990 and 2011.

Historical complaints reveal ongoing maintenance concerns, including a 2007 report of a moving wall and water damage causing mold, and a 1998 complaint about dangerous dry rot in the back staircase. Recent years have shown typical urban maintenance issues, with multiple 311 calls regarding street cleaning, sidewalk parking, and garbage collection, though these tend to be standard urban property management concerns rather than building-specific issues. Fire incidents have been minimal, with only one recorded cooking-related fire and an occasional false alarm, neither resulting in injuries. The building's current status shows some permits and violations that are still in process, particularly regarding the rear deck legalization, indicating that not all historical issues have been fully resolved.

Risk rating

How 31-33 Ramona 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.
