Initial analysis

The property at 3500 22nd Street, located in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood, is a 2-story mixed-use building constructed in 1900, containing two residential units and a commercial storefront. The building's recent improvements demonstrate attention to safety and modernization, with significant work including voluntary seismic strengthening of the storefront in 2020 ($25,000), electrical system upgrades including a new PV solar system (issued October 2024), and plumbing improvements completed in 2024 that included installation of new water heaters and other fixtures. The building has undergone several important modifications to maintain safety and compliance, such as addressing issues identified in a 2014 physical inspection report, legalizing unpermitted fixtures, and replacing non-compliant steps at the residence entrance in 2011.

The property has experienced some recurring issues with garbage and debris management, particularly in late 2024, with multiple reports (over ten cases) of overflowing city garbage cans and debris requiring attention. Notably, the building has a history of fire safety incidents, though all were either contained or related to alarm system activation without actual fires or injuries. The structure's historical modifications include previous foundation strengthening work in 1996, and more recent efforts to document its legal use as a mixed-use building. Planning records show several approved applications for improvements, including a rear yard variance and modifications to the storefront, as well as the continuation of existing grocery use under specific operating conditions.

Risk rating

How 3500 22Nd 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
28th percentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 920 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.

Neighborhood location

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

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 58.9%
Moderate concern 29.1%
Severe concern 12.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
