Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 3696-3698 17th Street, owned by the Joel & Reham Hadaad Living Trust, has undergone several significant modifications since its construction in 1900. The building, classified as a Flats & Duplex structure, has previously housed a commercial space, with major renovations occurring between 2008-2016 involving kitchen equipment installations, fire suppression system upgrades, and various plumbing and electrical improvements. Notable renovations included the installation of a commercial hood system in 2009 ($4,000) and kitchen equipment modifications in 2008 ($40,000), along with restroom relocations and window replacements in 2016 ($15,000). The property has experienced multiple permit-related issues, with several complaints filed in 2008 regarding unauthorized renovations including electrical work, plumbing modifications, and sewer line expansions, though these were ultimately resolved.

Recent activity at the property (2024) has primarily consisted of minor maintenance and public service issues, including three graffiti incidents, street cleaning matters, and street lighting maintenance, all of which were promptly addressed. A shared spaces fire complaint was filed in late 2022 regarding the outdoor area, though it was deferred in early 2023. The building has a history of three recorded fire incidents, though none resulted in civilian injuries and were primarily related to electrical equipment issues and a CO detector malfunction. The most recent significant permit activity was in 2022, with a filed permit for intermediate length occupancy modifications. The property has undergone various infrastructure improvements over the years, including sewer repairs in 2012, which were successfully completed.

Risk rating

How 3696-3698 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.
