Initial analysis

The property at 3628 16th Street in San Francisco's Duboce Triangle neighborhood is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by the Garrick O Ohlsson Revocable Trust. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past few decades, with the most recent major work being the in-kind replacement of wood windows in 2017 at a cost of $26,500. A substantial renovation occurred between 2003-2004, including kitchen and bathroom remodeling, electrical rewiring of both units, installation of a 16-panel solar PV system, and modifications to the kitchen-dining room layout. The building's infrastructure has been regularly maintained, with updates including new furnaces (2020), water heater replacement (2009), and installation of an earthquake valve (2010).

Recent 311 calls regarding the property have primarily concerned external issues such as garbage and debris cleanup (with multiple reports in 2024) and sidewalk safety concerns, including a tripping hazard related to barricades in January 2024. The most pressing current issue is an open pavement defect reported in April 2024, which remains unresolved. Historical improvements to the property include a sauna room installation in 1989, reroofing in 1992, and various plumbing and electrical upgrades between 2003-2020 that demonstrate ongoing maintenance and modernization of the building's systems.

Risk rating

How 3628 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
75th percentile

Out of 287 buildings in this neighborhood, 72 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.

Building age

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

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

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 79.7%
Moderate concern 10.7%
Severe concern 9.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
