Initial analysis

The property at 3515-3519 16th Street is a three-unit, multi-family residential building constructed in 1908, currently owned by Maher Micheal Alaraj Revoc. The building has undergone significant recent renovations, particularly focused on unit 3517, including a kitchen remodel ($30,000) in 2023, followed by substantial updates in early 2024 including electrical system overhauls (new sub-panel, extensive wiring replacements), plumbing improvements (shower pan installation, bathroom remodeling), and HVAC updates (furnace and duct replacement). A recent building permit from April 2024 indicates ongoing interior modifications specifically related to partition walls.

The building has a history of maintenance and safety-related work, particularly regarding stairs and structural elements, including rear exit stairs replacement in 2007 and various stair repairs in 2002 and 1987 (the latter addressing dry rot and termite damage at the back porch). A notable cluster of building violations was recorded in 2002 related to gas meter requirements and stair repairs, though these were all abated by November 2002. Recent maintenance issues have emerged, including a plumbing complaint in October 2024 regarding leaking sewage pipes at the rear of the building (though this complaint is listed as not active). The property has experienced periodic environmental maintenance challenges as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding sidewalk parking, graffiti, and garbage removal, though these issues appear to be promptly addressed based on case resolutions.

Risk rating

How 3515-3519 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.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

Building age

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

12-Month severity forecast

Moderate concern 22.0%
Severe concern 18.0%
