Initial analysis

The property at 3870-3872 22nd Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood. Built in 1900 and classified as a flats/duplex structure, this property is currently owned by Dzintars Grinfelds Tr. The building's maintenance history includes a significant reroofing project completed in 2015 at a cost of $9,200, and an electrical system upgrade in 2004 involving an underground service conversion with two meters, which was successfully completed. Earlier records show an attempt to address staircase handrail repairs and front house painting in 2000, though these permits ultimately expired without verification of completion.

The property has experienced several infrastructure challenges over the past few years, with notable incidents including two sewage backup events in October and November 2018 involving 4-inch vents, though both cases were officially resolved through municipal intervention. More recently, in 2023, there have been multiple reports regarding tree maintenance issues in the vicinity, including an empty tree basin as of December 2023 and a fallen tree incident in March 2023. Other external maintenance matters have included street cleaning, hazardous materials removal (glass) in 2021, and various infrastructure-related repairs, such as incorrect signage in 2022 and graffiti removal in 2017. The building's permit and maintenance history suggests regular upkeep of critical systems like roofing and electrical infrastructure, though some historical maintenance records show permits that were either cancelled or expired without clear resolution.

Risk rating

How 3870-3872 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
71th percentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 371 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.

Building age

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

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 85.0%
Moderate concern 10.1%
Severe concern 4.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
