Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 3700 22nd Street, located in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood, has undergone several significant improvements and faced some concerning events since its construction in 1900. Recent major work includes kitchen remodels in 2020-2021 on both the second and third floors, foundation repairs in 2020, and a heat pump replacement in 2023. The building has also seen substantial infrastructure upgrades, including electrical rewiring of kitchens and bathrooms in 2021, installation of a 200-amp underground service in 2005, and a voluntary partial seismic upgrade in 2019.

Of particular concern is a reported potential unpermitted unit complaint filed in July 2019 regarding a lower-level bedroom and bathroom addition beyond the two designated units, though this case is currently listed as not active. The building experienced a serious carbon monoxide incident, though no civilian injuries were reported. The property has been actively maintained, with various permits showing regular improvements to its infrastructure, including plumbing and electrical systems. Recent history from 2024-2025 shows multiple municipal service requests primarily related to street and parking issues in the vicinity, though these are external to the building itself.

Risk rating

How 3700 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

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 153 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.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

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 90.6%
Moderate concern 7.3%
Severe concern 2.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
