Initial analysis

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 3630-3632 17th Street, owned by the Barbara J Dwyer Living Trust, has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects since its construction in 1900. Most recently, in 2019, electrical work was undertaken including updates to the kitchen, bathroom, laundry, and installation of a new sub-panel. The building has seen major systems upgrades, including a $22,500 re-roofing project completed in 2015, the installation of a new furnace in 2013, and a gas line repair in 2012. Historical records show a concerning cluster of building violations in 2002 related to fire safety and stairway structural integrity, though these were eventually abated by 2005. There was also one serious complaint in 1998 regarding imminent life hazards including obstructed egress and security issues, which appears to have been promptly addressed within a month.

The property has experienced some ongoing infrastructure and safety maintenance issues in recent years, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2023 and 2024 regarding street defects, utility excavation, and sewer odors near the property. Two fire alarm system complaints were recorded in 2012 and 2016, with the latter being resolved with conditions corrected. The most recent building-related complaint was in September 2018 regarding construction work starting before 7 AM, though this is now considered inactive. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to infrastructure needs, though the concentration of violations in the early 2000s regarding fire safety and staircase repairs indicates there was a period requiring significant remedial work to address multiple compliance issues.

Risk rating

How 3630-3632 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 799 buildings in this neighborhood, 304 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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 62.2%
Moderate concern 18.0%
Severe concern 19.9%
