Initial analysis

The two-unit residential property at 3570-3572 17th Street in Mission Dolores, owned by Mahmoud Mahmoud A & Virgini, has a concerning history of structural and safety issues since its construction in 1932. Most notably, there are two active violations as of September 2021 regarding unpermitted and allegedly unstable construction at a detached structure, including new roof and roof support framing. This property has experienced persistent problems with its rear deck, which has been the subject of multiple complaints between 2003 and 2021, including findings of being unsafe and requiring repairs or replacement. Other significant issues have included fireplace vent duct security concerns in 2004, illegal construction of structure on roof in 2012, and reports of water damage and inadequate ventilation leading to mold/mildew issues in 2004.

The property has undergone several emergency responses from fire services, predominantly for false alarms and detector activations with no reported injuries. A cooking fire was recorded but was confined to a container with no injuries. The building has also generated numerous parking enforcement calls in 2024, with multiple citations issued for blocked driveways, and there were two recent garbage/cleaning complaints in early 2025. While some historical complaints have been resolved, including issues related to razed shower stalls and windows in 2004, the ongoing violations from 2021 regarding unpermitted construction raise current concerns about building maintenance and compliance with safety regulations.

Risk rating

How 3570-3572 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.
