Initial analysis

The property at 3132-3134 23rd Street is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Jimmy Tran and Josephine Ho. The building has undergone several significant renovations and faced various regulatory challenges over the years. Most recently, in 2020-2021, the property underwent substantial interior improvements including bathroom and kitchen remodels, with permits totaling approximately $25,000, completed in compliance with plumbing and electrical regulations. The building's history shows a pattern of maintenance and compliance issues, particularly notable in 2006 when multiple housing violations were documented, including problems with heating, windows, emergency exits, and plumbing. These violations were reportedly abated by 2007. The property has also experienced fencing disputes, with a 2014 complaint about an unpermitted 10-foot fence leading to various permit applications and ultimately the installation of a new 8-10 foot redwood fence in 2015.

In terms of more recent activity, there have been several building complaints and compliance actions. In 2021, there was a complaint about unpermitted remodeling work, though this was quickly resolved. Planning records from 2023 indicate a significant proposal to maximize the property's density, suggesting plans for additional units and ADUs, though it is unclear if this has progressed. The property has been subject to multiple 311 calls in 2024 relating to garbage and debris issues near the property line, with three instances of debris removal required between September and November 2024. While these recent complaints do not directly pertain to building conditions, they may indicate ongoing property maintenance challenges. The building's record also shows periodic housing inspections and fire safety violations, particularly in 2006-2007, though these appear to have been resolved through subsequent compliance actions.

Risk rating

How 3132-3134 23Rd 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.
