Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 3719-3721 17th Street, owned by Sultanis Trust Of 1995, is a three-story flats and duplex structure built in 1910, located in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and safety-related repairs over the past few decades, with the most recent major work being performed in April 2023 when the sewer and house trap were replaced. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly evident from three separate housing inspection complaints in 2022 that raised concerns about general maintenance, fire safety, and weatherproofing. Historical violations from 2001 highlighted multiple safety concerns that were subsequently addressed, including the installation of self-closing devices on exterior doors, handrails, gas utility shutoff tools, and fire-proofing repairs. The property has received attention for various infrastructure elements over the years, including reroofing work in 1999 and removal of a utility ladder in 2009.

Recent environmental conditions around the property have been documented through 311 calls, with several reports in 2024 regarding garbage and debris on public property, tree-related issues including property damage and risk of falling, and multiple parking enforcement requests, particularly concerning bicycle lane blockages. While these external maintenance issues do not directly relate to the building's habitability, they may impact the general environment around the property. The building's historical record shows a pattern of addressing violations and undertaking necessary repairs, with the most recent permits indicating ongoing maintenance of essential building systems.

Risk rating

How 3719-3721 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.
