Initial analysis

The property at 3615-3619 17th Street is a three-story, three-unit multi-family residential building located in the Mission Dolores neighborhood. Built in 1910, this flats and duplex-style building has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance events over its history, with the most notable issues occurring in 2003 when multiple housing code violations were documented, including problems with water damage, ceiling issues, ventilation concerns, and black mold presence in bathrooms. These violations were ultimately resolved by July 2006, following a director hearing in July 2005. More recent maintenance records show a reroofing project completed in 2014, undertaken at a cost of $8,280. The building underwent routine inspections in 2011 and 2005, with no violations found during the 2011 inspection, and a 2021 general cleaning request was completed.

The property has experienced several municipal service calls in recent years, primarily related to street cleaning and streetlight issues between 2020 and 2024. These included multiple reports of loose garbage, flickering street lights, and graffiti. Two recent 311 calls in December 2024 and September 2024 involved reports of abandoned items - a refrigerator and bagged garbage - near the property, though these were determined to be either private property issues or not directly associated with the building. The building's maintenance history shows periodic updates to basic systems, including kitchen cabinet replacements in the late 1980s and various heating system upgrades, though some of these permit applications expired without completion. The most recent major building improvement was the 2014 reroofing project, which appears to be the most significant recent structural maintenance performed on the building.

Risk rating

How 3615-3619 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, 304 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.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

Building age

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 62.2%
Moderate concern 17.7%
Severe concern 20.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
