Initial analysis

The 3-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building at 3564 17th Street in Mission Dolores, owned by Varela Revocable Trust The, was constructed in 1921. Recent significant improvements include a comprehensive heating system upgrade in 2018, with the installation of new furnace units in all apartments ($36,000), and completion of mandatory soft-story seismic retrofitting in 2015 ($45,000). The building has experienced several notable maintenance and safety incidents throughout its history, including a fire in 1988 affecting apartments #4 and #6, multiple stair repairs in 1998-2002 due to dry rot issues, and various fire safety violations in 2002 that required corrections including fire extinguisher requirements, fire escape maintenance, and combustible storage issues. A recent complaint from May 2018 regarding furnace installation in Unit #3 is still marked as active, and there have been recurring issues with parking violations and sidewalk obstructions near the property, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2024. While the building has undergone several routine inspections (most recently in 2016), past violations related to sanitation and fire safety suggest ongoing challenges with maintenance and compliance, though many historical issues have been addressed. The property has also completed its Tier 3 soft-story program requirements and received the corresponding Certificate of Final Completion (CFC).

Risk rating

How 3564 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, 439 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

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

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 43.8%
Moderate concern 21.8%
Severe concern 34.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
