Initial analysis

This two-unit multi-family residential building, located at 3532-3534 21st Street in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1901 and currently owned by James & Jo Anne Callaghan T. The property's maintenance history reveals several significant improvements over the years, including a complete window replacement project in 2008 costing $8,400, where seven street-visible windows were upgraded to Marvin wood clad windows. The building has undergone two roofing projects, with the most recent completed in 1995 (while one from 1997 shows as expired). In 2004, there was an electrical infrastructure upgrade with an underground service conversion to support two existing 100-amp meters.

The building has experienced some notable service issues in recent years, including a sewage backup incident in August 2012 that required field work by PUC Sewer Operations to resolve. More recently, there have been several municipal service interactions, including two Muni-related complaints in 2020-2021 regarding vehicle maintenance noise and general feedback, as well as a defaced parking sign incident in January 2020. While these external municipal issues indicate some neighborhood concerns, they primarily relate to city services rather than building-specific problems. The property's permit history suggests regular maintenance and upgrading of essential systems, with no recorded building code violations or safety-related incidents in the available data.

Risk rating

How 3532-3534 21St 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
61th percentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 498 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.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

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

Building age

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 73.1%
Moderate concern 13.2%
Severe concern 13.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
