Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 3640-3642 17th Street in Mission Dolores is a one-story multi-family dwelling constructed in 1907 and currently owned by Skyline Kid Trust. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most substantial renovation occurring in 2007, which included comprehensive interior remodeling of the kitchen and bathroom, electrical upgrades (including new lighting, switches, receptacles, and circuits), plumbing renovations, and the replacement of seven non-front-facing windows. During this renovation period, there was one building complaint filed in November 2007 regarding unauthorized weekend construction work, though this issue was resolved by January 2008. Earlier improvements include street space repairs in 2002 and reroofing work completed in 1990.

The building has experienced recurring issues with graffiti, particularly in 2023-2024, with multiple incidents reported on both the building and adjacent sidewalk areas. These complaints were generally resolved through proper channels, with the most recent graffiti incident on the building occurring in December 2023. The property is currently facing challenges related to parking enforcement, with several recent 311 calls (from late 2023 through 2024) reporting violations such as illegal parking, sidewalk obstruction, and bicycle lane blocking in the vicinity of the building, though these issues are primarily related to street conditions rather than the building itself. Two street name sign repair requests were logged in early 2024, with one remaining open as of February 2024.

Risk rating

How 3640-3642 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
88th percentile

Out of 799 buildings in this neighborhood, 96 are predicted to be safer.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

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 14.4%
Severe concern 5.5%
