Initial analysis

The 3633-3635 16th Street property is a two-story, multi-family residential building located in the Duboce Triangle neighborhood, constructed in 1949 and owned by Roland Lue. The building has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, most notably a comprehensive renovation in 2021-2022 that included kitchen and bathroom remodeling, replacement of fixtures, and repairs to damaged exterior wood siding and window trim, with the associated plumbing work completed in August 2022. The property has maintained its structural integrity through various improvements, including a complete reroofing in January 2021 (cost $12,000) and important seismic upgrades in 2007 consisting of plywood shearwall installation, foundation bolting, and steel tie reinforcement.

The building's maintenance record shows consistent care, with earlier upgrades including window replacements in 1993 and another reroofing project that same year. Recent concerns have primarily involved street-level issues rather than building-specific problems, with multiple reports in 2024 regarding parking violations (driveway blocking) and urban cleanliness matters, including garbage, debris, and encampment removal. The building's only recorded fire incident was a false alarm due to system malfunction, with no injuries reported. The property's maintenance history suggests regular upkeep and timely addressing of structural and cosmetic improvements, with particular attention paid to both interior modernization and exterior maintenance over the past two years.

Risk rating

How 3633-3635 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, 3 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 location

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

Building age

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

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 88.3%
Moderate concern 8.3%
Severe concern 3.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
