Initial analysis

The property at 3264 17th Street, located in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood, is a two-unit, one-story multi-family residential building owned by Elaine Yee and constructed in 1918. The building's maintenance history shows several significant events, with the most recent structural work being a building sewer house trap installation completed in November 2021, which addresses important infrastructure needs. In late 2024 and early 2025, there was a notable cluster of street cleaning issues in the immediate vicinity, with multiple reports of garbage, debris, and instances of human waste or urine requiring municipal intervention, though all these cases were resolved. The building has also experienced recurring graffiti issues in late 2024, with five separate incidents reported between December 2024 and January 2025, affecting various public property elements including utility poles and parking meters.

A significant safety concern occurred in October 2019 when multiple fire code violations were documented, specifically noting issues with fire extinguisher maintenance that were subsequently abated, though this incident warrants attention given its potential impact on resident safety. Historical permit records show earlier attempts to modify the building structure, including a 1987 proposal to add a second floor and third unit, though this was ultimately cancelled. Two parapet-related permits were successfully completed in the early 1990s, suggesting attention to the building's structural elements during that period. While some recent issues in the area have been documented, particularly relating to street cleanliness and graffiti, these appear to be more related to the neighborhood environment rather than the building's structural or safety conditions.

Risk rating

How 3264 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 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 24 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.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 85.3%
Moderate concern 11.2%
Severe concern 3.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
