Initial analysis

The two-unit residential property at 3554-3556 22nd Street, located in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood, has experienced significant renovation activity in recent months, with several related projects ongoing or recently completed. Most notably, there has been work involving foundation issues, beam modifications, and the conversion of approximately 200 square feet of garage space into an office and bathroom. These recent modifications have generated some concerns, as evidenced by a building complaint filed in September 2023 regarding unauthorized work and undermined footings at the property's rear section, though this violation is currently listed as not active. The property has undergone substantial improvements since 2012, including a major renovation in 2013 that involved extending areas on the second and third floors, bathroom updates, window replacements, and various plumbing and electrical upgrades.

Prior renovations demonstrate a history of maintaining and upgrading the property, including window replacements, bathroom remodels, and infrastructure improvements such as a new 200-amp electrical service installation in 2016 and a comprehensive plumbing system update in 2014. The building's maintenance record shows attention to both functional and aesthetic improvements, with recent permits covering various aspects of renovation work including structural modifications, utility updates, and interior improvements. While there have been several 311 calls related to property maintenance issues such as sewer problems in 2009 and waste management concerns in 2011, these appear to be historical and have been resolved. The most recent 311 calls (from 2023) primarily relate to parking issues outside the property boundaries.

Risk rating

How 3554-3556 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
