Initial analysis

The property at 3618-3620 16th Street in San Francisco's Duboce Triangle neighborhood is a 2-unit, 2-story residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by the Jeanne Caranda 2002 Trust. The building has a documented history of significant structural issues, most notably suffering fire damage in 2011 that required extensive restoration work costing $35,000, including repairs to floors, ceilings, walls, windows, doors, and stairways, along with complete electrical rewiring and plumbing updates. More recent structural concerns include a 2023 garage renovation costing $15,000 to replace wooden support beams with steel ones. The building's maintenance history shows attention to safety, with beam repairs in 2012 ($16,000) and water heater replacement in 2023.

Recent activity at the property has included successful tenant buyouts in February 2023, with one tenant receiving $15,000 and two tenants at 3620 receiving $58,000. The building has experienced multiple fire safety-related responses, though no actual fires or injuries were recorded, including smoke detector activations and smoke scares in 2011, as well as a combustible materials complaint in 2012 that was promptly resolved. The property has recently faced several 311 calls related to sidewalk parking violations and street cleaning issues in 2024, though these are more indicative of general neighborhood conditions rather than building-specific problems. The most recent building improvements and maintenance work suggest ongoing attention to structural integrity and safety systems, though the pattern of beam repairs and structural modifications raises considerations about the building's historical maintenance needs.

Risk rating

How 3618-3620 16Th St'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

Out of 287 buildings in this neighborhood, 37 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.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

Building age

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 73.9%
Moderate concern 14.5%
Severe concern 11.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
