Initial analysis

The property at 3627-3633 17th Street is an 8-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1904, currently owned by Armanino Family LLC and located in the Mission Dolores neighborhood. The building has undergone several significant safety and maintenance improvements in recent years, including a completed soft-story retrofit in 2015 (cost: $83,000) to enhance seismic safety, and a major rear stair repair project in 2021 addressing dryrot issues (cost: $39,000) followed by a $20,000 stair replacement revision. In 2021, the building upgraded its heating system with the installation of a new Peerless steam boiler (cost: $236,000). The electrical system is currently undergoing improvements, with service and panel upgrades to 400A issued in July 2024 and a survey permit issued in September 2023.

The building has a history of addressing maintenance and safety issues, with multiple repairs documented throughout the years. In 2004, the property faced several violations related to stairs, handrails, and fire safety systems, all of which were abated by February 2005. A 2010 inspection uncovered issues with the boiler room ceiling and dryrot, which were subsequently addressed. More recent maintenance work includes the installation of backflow prevention devices in 2010. The property has experienced recurring issues with exterior graffiti as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2024, primarily affecting the sidewalk areas. While there were violations noted on 3750 18th Street regarding fire system maintenance and documentation in 2024, these do not appear to be directly related to this property address. The building's recent maintenance history suggests ongoing attention to safety and infrastructure needs, with particular focus on structural elements such as stairs and seismic improvements.

Risk rating

How 3627-3633 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, 559 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.

Number of units

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

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 35.2%
Moderate concern 26.3%
Severe concern 38.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
