Initial analysis

The property at 3558-3562 17th Street is a three-story, five-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1909 and currently owned by the John Garcia Revocable Trust. The building has undergone several significant safety improvements over the years, with the most substantial being a completed soft-story retrofit in 2017 costing $50,000, placing it in compliance with seismic safety requirements. Recent maintenance includes back stairs repairs in 2022 ($10,000) and previous repairs in 2002 and 2010, indicating ongoing attention to structural safety.

The building experienced multiple violations in 2002 related to safety and building codes, including issues with stairs, fire safety equipment, security systems, and an obstructed means of egress. These violations were all addressed and abated by April 2005. A 1998 complaint about sewage issues was resolved by December 1999. More recent history shows no active violations or complaints regarding building safety, though there have been several 311 calls related to general maintenance and sidewalk issues between 2014 and 2022, primarily concerning street cleaning and sidewalk conditions. The most recent building-related issues have been handled through standard maintenance procedures rather than code violations or urgent repairs, suggesting improved ongoing building management.

Risk rating

How 3558-3562 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.
