Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 3810 17th Street in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1923 and currently owned by the Tony Quan Trust. The property's maintenance records show several improvements over the years, including a complete reroofing in 1989 and a significant electrical upgrade to a 200-amp underground service completed in 2008, which was accompanied by a sidewalk permit.

The building's recent history from 2015 to 2023 indicates ongoing neighborhood challenges primarily related to street and sidewalk cleanliness rather than structural or safety concerns with the building itself. The property has experienced multiple incidents requiring municipal cleaning services, including three instances of human or animal waste (2019, 2020), loose garbage (2023, 2015), and graffiti (2023, 2018). There were also two documented encampment situations near the property in late 2017 and early 2018, both of which were resolved through municipal intervention. A sidewalk defect was reported in 2016, though this appeared to be a case of mistaken address assignment that was resolved. All reported incidents have been officially closed, indicating that each situation was addressed by the appropriate municipal department.

Risk rating

How 3810 17Th 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 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 383 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.

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.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 65.5%
Moderate concern 18.4%
Severe concern 16.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
